Congratulations to GREAT farmer Alex Crawley, a war veteran who proudly served with the Armed Forces in Afghanistan. Following his diagnosis with posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) in 2017, he took a voluntary placement working 1/3
with dairy cattle, which he said helped ‘soothe’ his PTSD. When won a Clyde-Higgs scholarship via the Royal Agricultural University, it was a dream come true. His studies culminated in working numerous jobs including calf rearing, dairy, sheep, beef and harvest work. 2/3
