Contacts for Suffolk farmers?

So this morning I was reading the October issue of Classic Tractor and one of the articles mentioned about a farm running Case and International tractors. In it was an interesting note about how a local lad about my age (14) was helping out at the weekends. Although the farm was much smaller and in a better place for 14 year olds to get into farming I decided it might be worth looking about on here for any farmers/ people who know farmers who may be willing to let me get into farming by working on their farm on weekends and when I have the time available. So with that I headed on this website again to try find any addresses, emails, phone numbers and people on this site that I could to make my life the slightest bit easier, and hopefully lessen the amount of times I get turned down.

I mentioned this in the looking for work section so there is more details there but to put it quickly I'm looking for people/contacts within a ten mile radius of Kessingland although if needed I can get further via public transport of transport.

Just as a quick side note no silly comments. Also if someone finds this wrong (I almost do myself) do tell me and I'll stop asking.

Not sure how you go about finding work but may I suggest working for free to gain experience and then once your doing something useful or experienced ask about a wage (I'd hope they'd offer first)

This is what we did with a local girl that was told she needed more experience but university's. She became a very good worker and ended up coming for 5 harvests.

That was what I was planning, thanks though
