AN award in memory of a farming icon has been launched. The Nuffield Farming Scholarships Trust and the family of Frank Arden CBE (1915-1979) have announced the Nuffield Farming Frank Arden Leadership Award. Frank Arden CBE was the son of a tenant farmer who built a very successful grains and potato growing business in his home county of Lincolnshire, eventually expanding into poultry, dairy and units located in Scotland, Yorkshire and Oxfordshire. The aim of the award is to promote the personal development of a Nuffield Farming Scholar toward a wider leadership role within British agriculture. The winning applicant will receive funding to take part in a course provided by the Windsor Leadership Trust. Beginning in 2021, the award will be given biennially to a recent Nuffield Farming Scholar who resides in the UK and completed their scholarship at least three years prior to application.
