The inaugural 2026 Australian Agriculture Awards, a joint initiative between ACM Agri and the National Farmers' Federation, progressed through its state and national selection phases.

In late September, South Australia announced its finalists across five categories, including Nutrien NextGen Leader, Women in Agriculture, Sustainability in Agriculture, Westpac Innovation in Agriculture, and Toyota Wellbeing and Safety in Agriculture. Following state-level events, the national finalists were confirmed. Twenty-five representatives from Western Australia, Victoria, Tasmania, Queensland, and the Northern Territory are scheduled to travel to Canberra in November for the national ceremony.

Category winners will receive a $5,000 prize, while the top honor, the Australian Agriculture Medallist, will be awarded a Toyota Tundra Platinum valued at $181,000.
