Country Week programme: Why farming's out to grab high-flyers
A DRIVE to attract top quality graduates into the farming industry is to be held in Yorkshire next month. Listen to informed debate, in the weekly programme for Yorkshire's country communities.
Farming leaders want to make the industry more appealing to top level graduates and high flyers and will showcase the range of opportunities that the sector can offer.
In a bid to entice more high-flyers into the farming and food industries The Food and Farming Forum for Yorkshire and the Humber will be highlighting career avenues in research, technology and land management.
In this edition of the podcast, Digital Editor David Behrens and the Yorkshire Post's agricultural correspondent Mark Casci discuss the careers drive.
