Backing British farmers: sharing the highs and lows of farming
20th December 2022
A-Plan Rural have launched a Rural Community blog, allowing farmers across the UK to share their experiences of working in the industry.
Bridging the gap between farm and the consumer is something that lots of farmers are trying to do in an effort to help more people understand the reality of what goes into producing their food, and hopefully alter public opinion on why supporting and buying British is so important.
As part of their work on social media to support farmer’s efforts in showcasing British agriculture, A-Plan Rural Insurance have setup a Rural Community blog, where they invite farmers to give their experiences in the industry, sharing their contributions to over 120,000 followers on Instagram. Since starting the blog, A-Plan Rural have worked with a large variety of farmers from differing backgrounds and locations all over the UK.
In their latest blog, they spoke with Ioan Humphreys, a sheep farmer based in Wales, who has generated a large Instagram following from his content that shares the ups and downs he experiences on his farm. He was asked a series of questions around his farming background, how he got into farming, a typical day in his boots, and the opportunities he feels are available for people wanting to get into farming.
