United Kingdom - Bayer CropScience sponsors Farmers Apprentice


United Kingdom
April 10, 2014

At Bayer CropScience we believe in making a difference. Our market leading products and services do just that for thousands of farmers in the UK every growing season.

But we, just like the rest of the industry, recognise that farming is facing a skills crisis. Attracting top-class talent into all sectors of our industry is now an urgent priority. The skills gap created by years of agriculture being considered as a career of last resort, particularly within education circles, means we have to work doubly hard to attract the bright, young people that farming needs in the next decade and beyond.

We have to show farming for what it really is: exciting, forward-thinking, technologically advanced, sustainable and rewarding both financially and emotionally.

It is a journey we at Bayer CropScience began a few years ago, not least with our Commercial Training Programme, where each year we look to employ people who have the potential to become managers of the future.

To attract the stars of tomorrow into our industry, we believe that it is important children learn about modern agriculture from an early age, and persuading them it is an exciting world to live and work in. That’s why we already support organisations such as Farming and Countryside Education (FACE), The Wilderness Foundation and BrightCrop with their excellent materials and initiatives to help both teach schoolchildren about agriculture and encourage them into our wonderful industry.

Those schemes are making a difference, just like the excellent Farmers Weekly Farmers Apprentice in 2012 did. Indeed, we at Bayer CropScience are benefitting from employing one of the finalists as a Commercial Trainee.

This is why we are delighted to be a sponsor the 2014 Farmers Apprentice competition, which is a logical extension to the work we are doing in this area.

For more information on what we look for in a Commercial Trainee and what you can expect in return, if successful, please look at our Commercial Trainee web page here
