[QUOTE="Boysground, post: 7918067, member: 610"] I have 4 under 20 and 3 more under 25 working here. One is my son, all of them are either doing of have done agriculture or something related at college or uni. Most are gaining experience before they move on as they complete their education. There does seem to be more young people in this area who want to work in the country, I’m not saying it’s enough but they are around. The biggest stumbling block to being educated about agriculture is work experience. Many don’t have an agricultural upbringing and need experience. Farmers don’t give these guys jobs, I probably have at least 1 email a week from a student looking for work, if they can’t get the basic experience they won’t stay in the industry to build a cv and career. Then we will all be stuffed. My daughter works in another industry, she has a degree but to progress she has had to start at the bottom and work up, she will tell you she is cv building and gaining experience to get to where she wants to. The companies she has worked for know her plans and have encouraged her. It doesn’t take much to look on here and see people looking for experienced staff but they all have to start somewhere Bg [/QUOTE]
