Never did I believe that I would be worthy of winning a scholarship alongside a placement at a hugely successful European company. I was privileged enough to be offered the placement with ForFarmers.

ForFarmers is not just focused on feed so I am looking forward to experiencing all aspects of the business especially gaining more knowledge about the formulation of dairy cow diets. I am hoping to gain a good insight into ruminant nutrition by shadowing Account Managers out on farm. It be interesting to review ration formulations and how they are tailored to suit the needs of a herd and align with the farmers goals. I would love to be able to formulate a diet in the future.

Confidence is key within this industry and that is one personal goal I would like to develop this year at ForFarmers. Not only for customer facing opportunities but also meeting internal colleauges across the business.

I look forward to my year ahead at ForFarmers and you can join me along the way by reading my monthly blog.
