What it takes to become Pig Farmer of the Year

Steve Hart from Downham Market in Norfolk has just been named Pig Farmer of the Year.

He recently swapped his overalls for a dinner suit to accept the award at a glittering Farmers' Weekly ceremony hosted by Fiona Bruce.

He won the award for the high welfare standards on his farm.

In the early 1990s Steve invested his last £500 into pig farming.

His company - Norfolk Free Range - now supplies one of the country's biggest supermarkets and a well-known restaurant chain.
