Young Farmer Focus: Amy Eggleston - 'I love sharing my daily farming adventures'

Day-to-day: I am the fifth generation of my family to produce milk, which is made into Long Clawson Stilton cheese, a British product which can only be made in three counties.

I get to spend time on-farm with my dad, milking the cows, measuring the grass, and doing whatever else is necessary to best look after the animals, who I seem to see more of than most of my family and friends.

I love sharing my daily farming adventures, and sometimes fails, on social media – opening up a conversation with others about what I do and sharing my enthusiasm for my job.

Yes, it is tough getting up at 4am, but when I get to bring new life onto the farm and produce a fresh, healthy, quality British product while spending my days outside, it is worth it.

Future: Like me, many Young Farmers are sharing a positive message about what we do, and I really hope this can open more eyes to the reality of British dairy farming.

I am incredibly proud to be moving into this role on my family farm and believe the opportunities on and off the farm within the industry are huge.

In the future, I would love to make my own butter, using our own milk, and potentially even sell fresh milk straight from the farm.

I am also running my own public relations and marketing company alongside the farm, Pastures Green Communications, helping others best promote their agricultural and rural businesses effectively.
