Harper students and alumni help mark #Farm24 2022

4 August 2022

With a wealth of students and graduates working across the food and farming sector, this year’s #Farm24 has as strong a Harper Adams representation as ever.

Here’s just a selection of some of the things our students and alumni are getting involved in this year during the day – supported by Farmer’s Guardian and Morrisons.

Placement student Lucy is at Kubota UK, where she’s taken a starring role in this video:

At SRH Agribusiness, Katie has been getting out and about, talking to farmers to offer advice and support.

Meanwhile, Evie is lending her support across a variety of roles…

…while a return home for fellow student Charles has seen him lending a hand on the combine.

Our Harper Adams alumni are also out there supporting the day, including Susie at Openfield…

Susie grew up on a mixed family farm in East Yorkshire and studied Agriculture at Harper Adams. In January 2021, she joined our Graduate Scheme. "It offered a brilliant insight into the industry, and has provided a great background for my new appointment." #Farm24 pic.twitter.com/3fFyb0itel
