South Australia's agricultural sector is once again being celebrated through the Ag Town of the Year program, now in its eighth year. This unique initiative highlights the strength and vitality of the state's farming communities, recognising the contributions of towns that drive agricultural innovation and productivity.
How to Vote
Residents and supporters of South Australian towns are encouraged to cast their votes for the 2026 Ag Town of the Year. The voting process is open to the public, allowing everyone to have a say in which town deserves the prestigious title. The winning town will be announced later this year, following a thorough evaluation of community engagement, agricultural output, and local initiatives.
2025 Winner: Lameroo
Last year, the town of Lameroo was crowned the Ag Town of the Year, receiving the award from Minister for Primary Industries and Regional Development Clare Scriven. The award ceremony celebrated Lameroo's contributions to the agricultural sector, including its strong community spirit and innovative farming practices. Minister Scriven praised the town for its resilience and dedication to sustainable agriculture.
The Ag Town of the Year program is a key part of the state government's efforts to promote regional development and support primary industries. By highlighting successful towns, the program aims to inspire others and showcase the importance of agriculture to South Australia's economy.
