What does the application form ask? 

 

The form asks a series of basic questions about yourself, followed by five open-ended questions.  Answers to these questions are limited to 250 words, and you must answer all of them.  These questions might be along the lines of:

 

• Please give a brief summary of your farming experience
• Describe your greatest achievements in agriculture/aquaculture or elsewhere in your life so far
• What are your farming goals for the - short, medium and long term?
• Why do you want to join the Future Farmer Foundation?
• What qualities do you have that will allow you to get the most out of the programme?
• How you will ensure you can commit to the programme? 

 

What happens after I have submitted my application? 

 

We look through all applications in early November.  We then run 3 selection days, where we will invite a short list of applicants to come and meet us.  From this we will then select the final 50. 

 

Should I apply?

 

The simple answer is YES! Our website and Facebook page has lots and lots of information about the programme, so that's the best place to start.
