Few other jobs require such a variety of practical and business skills, courage and determination. So if you've got what it takes - and you're aged 18-25 - now's your opportunity to shine. This December, one of 10 young people will walk away from the Farmers Apprentice with a E10,000 cash prize to kick-start a career in farming.
