FARM visit: High Sheriff of Cumbria talks to young farmers about future
THE many challenges facing the farming community was the topic for discussion when young farmers met with the High Sheriff of Cumbria, David Beeby, and representatives from the Cumbria Community Foundation and Westmorland Ltd last week.
‘This Farming Life’ stars Matty and Dani Blair hosted the visit, at Thrimby Grange near Little Strickland and were joined by The Farmer Network Farming Ambition Programme participants Murray Craig, Holly Potter and Rachel Graham. The visit gave them the opportunity to discuss the many challenges and uncertainties facing the farming community and how the programme helps young people with business training, advice, grants and loans.
