Aaron Walter is a 19-year-old UK Young Farmer who left school at 16 to go farming. He currently farms beef cattle near Bude in North Cornwall. Walter heard an interview with George Dodson and Hugh Jackson on The Country’s podcast and contacted us to ask if we would be interested in a chat. He’s been picked as one of only 22 young people from across the UK for the Oxford Farming Scholars Programme and has co-founded an app that aims to help farmers to spend less time on paperwork and more time farming.
