Andrew Frank, Debbie Dawkins, Ian Armstrong, Olivia Kelly and Rhona Earnshaw were part the winning team from SRUC in the Farmer Planner competition
Five students from Scotland’s Rural College have won a UK-wide agricultural competition after Covid-19 restrictions allowed them to enter online for the first time.
The Farm Planner competition, run by the Institute of Agricultural Management, is open to all colleges and universities in the UK and is aimed at students studying Agriculture or Rural Business Management courses.
Usually, the cost of sending a team to a farm visit in England has prevented SRUC from entering – but this year they were able to join an online introduction to the Blagdon Estate, near Newcastle.
