Young Farmer Series: Elliott Potterton on mart life and farm efficiency

Agriland spoke to beef and tillage farmer Elliott Potterton from Co. Meath to conclude the series on challenges facing young farmers.

Elliot is 19-years-old and keeps busy with working part-time on the farm and working at his family owned mart in Delvin, Co. Westmeath.

He spoke about the declining interest in farming from younger generations, and said that the age demographic at the mart is probably 55 or older.

Elliott said that young people “come with an interest rather than having an interest”.
