A STUDENT from Bridgwater and Taunton College has recently been awarded a £500 Cornish Mutual Young Farmer Bursary.
Grace Harding is currently studying a Level 3 Diploma in Agriculture at the college's Cannington Campus in the hopes of eventually working full time on the home farm near Shepton Mallet.
Grace says: “I’m working hard to gain as much knowledge as possible from my college lectures and through my own external research, so I can help our family farm remain profitable and sustainable into the future.
“I plan on using the bursary to buy a new laptop so I can complete my college assignments and continue with my own research.”
