Lexie's Story
I started at Brackenhurst in 2015 studying a Level 3 Extended Diploma in Agriculture. I had a great time and learnt so much. Upon successfully completing my course @BrackAg I went on to study a degree in Agriculture, graduating in 2020. #Agriculturestudent #FE

Second year Agrics are working on their Farm Business Plan Assignments so it was really useful to hear how John Miller uses Gross Margins and Cashflow Forecasts to help him manage his farm. ⁦@AHDB_Cereals⁩ ⁦@NFUEastMidlands⁩ ⁦@NFUNotts⁩ ⁦@woodboroughpark⁩

For farmers, shearing sheep is a vital part of caring for their flock

But many vegans consider the practice cruel and harmful to animals
