I’m Becca Williams, 24. I live and work on a 400 acre beef, sheep and venison farm in Mid Wales run by my family, where I have been full time for five years.
We keep 24 Welsh Black cattle, 700 sheep, and 82 red deer. I have no formal agricultural education but after being involved in both the Farmers Weekly Apprentice scheme and the Tesco Future Farmer Foundation, I am keen to learn as much as I can about the industry that I have a passion to work in.
I’m excited to be a member of the group, meeting new people in the business and networking is extremely important to me. I feel that with education and support like this scheme the future of farming will be positive and as a young person in agriculture I want to be a help and part of that.
