On the day, judges, Hugh McClymont and RHASS chairman and agronomist, Jim Warnock will conduct the judging in the main ring.

Each category winner will be awarded ten acres of any Watson Seeds Castle Mixture from the competitions organiser and sponsor Watson Seeds, with second and third place, receiving five and two acres, respectively. Organic complaint Castle mixtures are available too.
