The application window for a fully funded training programme, the Yorkshire Agricultural Society’s Goodall Agri-Development Pathway, will close next Monday (December 2).

The programme offers farmers aged 23 to 40 the chance to develop their skills and build their confidence and contacts alongside likeminded peers.

Over an eight-month period, the Pathway involves face-to-face and online learning, farm visits, conferences, and an overseas study trip, with insights from expert speakers.

There are eight modules, with the first taking place in March 2025.

Each module lasts between one and four days, and some require overnight stays.

Whilst places are fully funded, a £250 deposit, refundable upon completion of the Pathway, is required.

Applicants need to live or work in the North of England and work in farming and allied industries.

Twelve places are available.

To apply for a place, please submit a completed application form, available from yas.co.uk
