Feed Central managing director Tim Ford said the winners had "gone above and beyond" during a period of extreme drought across much of the country.
"Despite gigantic demand, these producers still focused on making a quality product even though the market was willing to buy any quality at the time," he said.
"It was very tough in many areas and while yields were down, quality was up and these growers deserve to be commended for that."
