It's our turn!
Sophie Bould-Lynch South West
COVER STORY
I am 23 years old and live in Devon. I have a degree in Rural Business Management and currently work as a Saputo Standards Inspector, Red Tractor auditor for dairy, beef and lamb farms and relief milker. I would like to gain knowledge and experience, and meet other likeminded people within the industry.
Despite Covid-19 meaning everything happened a bit later than planned, we’ve recruited 14 new Student & Young Farmer Ambassadors to represent young people in farming for the next year. They're a great bunch, so without further ado, let's introduce you to them!
Erin McNaught NFU Cymru I am a beef and sheep farmer taking over my family farm in North Wales, while also working on a local regenerative dairy farm. I also train and trial sheepdogs. Through this programme, I hope to further develop my understanding and passion for the agricultural industry.
Dan Hawes South East Bizza Walters West Midlands My name is Bizza, and I am a farmer's daughter from Warwickshire. We farm mainly sheep and arable, but have other enterprises such as a small feed merchant business. I am really passionate about agriculture, especially topics surrounding buying locally and seasonally, and am so thrilled to have been accepted onto the programme. I am really looking forward to the year ahead, meeting new people and attending events, and learning more about this ever-changing and fascinating industry.

I’m Dan, 26, with an arable background in Suffolk, but now living and working in Kent for a farm producing strawberries and other soft fruits for the British market. I hope to gain some great friends, share ideas and learn from others, while doing my bit to promote our industry.
