Thanks to everybody who joined us at The Cheshire Ploughing Match this year – a fantastic day and it was great to see so many people there.

ECM competed against more than 500 other nominations in the International Green Apple Awards, and they will be presented with their trophy and certificate at a glittering presentation ceremony in the Houses of Parliament, London, on November 20.

`Fletcher’s Family Farm’ is set on the farm of former `Emmerdale’ and `Strictly star’, actor and first-time farmer Kelvin Fletcher, and his family in the Peak District, as they open up their world to celebrate and explore their wonderful farming life. With more animals, more laughs, more mistakes and even more children, the Fletchers’ adventure has only just begun.

ECM awarded 3 Green Apples in 2023 for a project recovering 30 acres of salt-polluted land and returning it to farmland complete with its own nature reserve.

Latest accolade takes ECM’s total of Green Apples to an incredible 25

In this year’s International CSR Awards, Evironmental Crop Management received no less that three awards for corporate responsibility.

Environmental Crop Management has scooped another Green Apple Award together with two other company members of the Leaders Council.

The Green Apple Environment Awards is an annual international campaign to recognise, reward and promote environmental best practice globally. Headed by non-profit venture The Green Organisation since its establishment in 1994, the awards have become established among the most popular and well-known environmental campaigns worldwide.

The awards are fundamental to The Green Organisation’s philosophy of helping others benefit the environment around them. Every year, entries for the awards originate from governments, ministries and local authorities across the world, as well as businesses, organisations and communities spanning the public and private sectors.
