In some agricultural colleges demand for courses have risen by more than 40% compared to last year. At a time of increasing tuition fees Caz Graham meets students and staff at Harper Adams College in Shropshire to hear why studying agriculture is becoming more attractive. Farming Today is following farmers as they move from agricultural college into the world of work. It is a notoriously difficult vocation to get started in. Dan Aries has returned to his family farm in Banbury but has plans to move to New Zealand; Stephen Olley is struggling to find work in Norfolk and thinks that farmers may be discriminating against him because of his disability; and Tom Martindale is back in Hampshire helping out his father Martin with the pigs. Presented by Caz Graham and produced by Emma Weatherill.
