The finalists for the fifth annual Young Farmer of the Year competition have been revealed! The six members who will be competing for the biggest prize in the SAYFC calendar are:<\/p>\n

Jack Young \u2013 Carluke YFC<\/a><\/p>\n

Stuart Limond \u2013 Ayr YFC<\/a><\/p>\n

Daniel Skinner \u2013 Garioch YFC<\/a><\/p>\n

Marcus Slater \u2013 Harray YFC<\/a><\/p>\n

Gavin Adam \u2013 West Fife JAC<\/a><\/p>\n

Angus Runciman \u2013 Ettrick and Lauderdale JAC<\/a> (Not Pictured)<\/p>\n

All of these competitors qualified through regional eliminations during the summer. Where they completed a variety of practical tasks to prove their qualifications and advance to the final stage and a chance to compete for this year\u2019s winning prize:<\/p>\n

\u00a31000 provided by Royal Bank of Scotland<\/a>,<\/p>\n

A trip to the Oxford Farming Conference<\/a>,<\/p>\n

And the grand prize<\/a>, a BRAND-NEW Suzuki King Quad 500 XPZ provided by ATV services<\/a>!!<\/p>\n

(current value \u00a311,999 including vat!)<\/p>\n

This amazing prize is now the winners for life! And SAYFC are extremely thankful to ATV services<\/a> for their generosity and support for this competition since it began 5 years ago.<\/p>\n

The finalists met for the first time on Monday 24th<\/sup> of October at Cuplahills Farm in sunny Fife by the kind invitation of farm owner, Stephen Melville. This meeting is the beginning of their first task in the finals as Stephen\u2019s farm will provide the base of the business plan challenge set up by Galbraith<\/a>. This year\u2019s scenario is centred around succession. The contestants will use the farm as a base to build a hypothetical plan for its future taking into consideration factors such as familial needs and compensation, market analysis, borrowing for investments, land management and funding applications.<\/p>\n

Alongside the information provided by Galbraith<\/a> and from the farm visit, the contestants will also have access to expert investment mentors provided by the Royal bank of Scotland<\/a>. They will help them build their plan, ready for presentation to a panel of judges on the morning of the 3rd<\/sup> of December. The rest of the day will be packed with farming challenges to test the finalist\u2019s metal, before finally, the winner will be revealed that evening as part of the SAYFC\u2019s 5 Star Awards<\/a> ceremony. A night dedicated to the achievements of young farmers members throughout the year.<\/p>\n

We would like to thank ATV Services<\/a>, Royal Bank of Scotland<\/a> and Galbraith<\/a> for their continued support of this fantastic competition. Which provides a wealth of knowledge, experience and assistance for all competitors to use in their own farming journeys.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row css_animation=”” row_type=”row” use_row_as_full_screen_section=”no” type=”full_width” angled_section=”no” text_align=”left” background_image_as_pattern=”without_pattern”][vc_column width=”1\/4″][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_gallery interval=”3″ images=”10784,10782,10783,10785,10786,10776,10774,10773,10772,10771″][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/4″][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/section>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
