We've found two great new young columnists and bloggers for Farmers Weekly and www.fwi.co.uk. They are Lizzie Jennings, a first year student at Bishop Burton, Yorkshire and Rob Cotton, a second year student at Harper Adams, Shropshire. Both will be writing and blogging for us on life as an agricultural student and I think they will bring a fresh take on issues for the younger generation.
The average age of our magazine readers is about 59 years and online it's about 45 years so we are always anxious to attract younger people to our products and services. If we don't, we wil struggle to survive long term. So we are open to ideas on how best to appeal to a younger audience without neglecting the old 'uns....... all thoughts gratefully received.
If you've got sons, daughters or family at Harper Adams you may be interested in a picture gallery we are about to put up on www.fwispace.co.uk showing photos from their graduation ceremony held at the weekend.
