Ellie Scovell, from Hampshire, is not from a farming family and worked for free to get her first job.
A first-generation farmer has said it is crucial to support younger people into agriculture to keep the industry alive.
She said the younger generation were "the future of farming", adding "somebody needs to take over" from the older generation. Ms Scovell grew up on the Isle of Wight where she found there were not very many farming jobs because of the island's size. "And I was very lucky - they took me on and now I've moved to the mainland to progress my career and now I'm here."She said the rise in farmers using the social media had been beneficial to the industry, and allowed her to see what different kinds of farmers do.
