I feel that so much pressure is put on young people not to make the wrong choice with their career, but hopefully you can see from my story that all experience counts, especially in an industry like agriculture which is continually striving to reflect, adapt, learn, and improve.

Working within the agriculture sector means you are constantly moving and have to adapt to change so quickly. It’s fun but but it’s not just about muck on wellies, there are so many areas to explore. The opportunities are endless. I couldn’t recommend it highly enough.

‘I had no intention of pursuing a career in agricultural journalism, but when I saw Farmers Guardian was recruiting for a reporter based in London, I knew I had to go for it.’

How should agri-environment schemes work for arable farmers and for wildlife? That’s what researchers in the PARTRIDGE project are looking for 2,000 farmers to tell them in a new survey.

It seems to be the time of year for surveys. I have done the RSPB Big Garden Birdwatch and the Game and Wildlife Conservation Trust Big Farmland Bird Count, noting that bird numbers are down.
