Plett agri workers shine
Plettenberg Bay shone at the recent Garden Route Presitge Agricultural Awards with former Young Farmer of the Year winner Johan van der Schyff’s employees taking top honours.
The awards were held at the George showgrounds last month and the winners just returned from their interviews in Stellenbosch for the provincial leg of the competition which will take place in November.
The award was established in 2002 as an agricultural development project in De Doorns and today 16 regions in the Western Cape participate. This year there were 107 participants, 33 finalists and 11 winners in various categories.
While most winners were from the George area, Plettenberg Bay’s Bianca van der Mescht won the category for middle management while Elroy Kanana took second place in animal production.
Both work for JJ van der Schyff en Seun based in Plettenberg Bay. A photo of the Plett winners and more news about the awards will appear on Thursday.
