Ep 3: Where’s the Support for Young Farmers? – A Thoughtful Discussion Inspired by Evaine
In this episode of the Roundwood Cheviot Farm podcast, we dive into an important question raised by Evaine, a passionate young farmer, who wonders why there isn't more support for young people under 16 in agriculture. Despite her love for farming, Evaine has discovered the hurdles young aspiring farmers face, such as the requirement of a herd number to hold stock. This sparks a broader conversation about the challenges and opportunities for young people in agriculture today. We also explore what can be done to inspire and nurture the next generation of farmers. In addition to this insightful discussion, we talk about daily life on the farm, preparations for upcoming shows, and the joys and struggles of life in the field.
