The Department of Primary Industries and Regions (PIRSA) has announced that 90 nominations for 61 different towns have been received for the 2021 Ag Town of the Year Award.
PIRSA said public voting for the Award, now in its third year, opened last Thursday (19 August).
Minister for Primary Industries and Regional Development, David Basham said it was pleasing to see more than 60 different towns nominated for the Award, with previous winners being Cleve and Pinnaroo.
“The Award recognises the importance of agriculture in South Australia and the positive economic impact the entire supply chain has on a township and community,” Mr Basham said.
“Agriculture has continued to keep moving through the COVID-19 restrictions to ensure food from South Australia appears on tables across the country and world,” he said.
Mr Basham said the Award nominees were now open for a public vote to help select five finalists which would vie for the title of 2021 South Australian Agricultural Town of the Year.
He said the winner would be announced at the 2021 Regional Showcase celebration event in November 2021.
