This week in response to the massive lack of young people coming into farming, The Farmers Weekly teamed up with McDonalds to launch a new competition aimed to encourage an inspire young people to seek farming as a career. 

I actually quite like this video, it reminds me a bit of some of the work I have produced and to be honest it does show a great portrait of the day in the life of a farmer. I can honestly say I have days when Im as busy doing such varied work as the one described in the video, farming is not a boring run of the mill office job, you are active, self motivated an rewarded (sometimes) with the satisfaction of doing a days work.

Check it out.
