George Fussey 28 Lincolnshire
A willingness to gain more knowledge and expertise about the UK sheep sector led to George to apply for the ambassador scheme this year. “I’m a big believer in sharing knowledge, not just of sheep farming but of regenerative agriculture in general, an area of interest for me. I feel becoming an NSA Next Generation Ambassador is the perfect place to continue with this career and personal development,” George explains. After completing his agricultural degree at Harper Adams, George travelled, working on farms in Australia, New Zealand and Norway. On returning home to his family farm he was happy to use some of this experience and take on responsibility for the expanding sheep enterprise. The flock currently comprises of 400 Aberfield cross ewes run on herbal leys as part of the wider enterprise’s arable rotations.
