Social media influencers with over 130 million subscribers have helped to raise awareness of farming among young people.
Sidemen, a seven-man British YouTube group consisting of internet personalities including rapper and boxer KSI, undertook a '24 hours of farming' challenge on Sandy Farm in Surrey earlier this year.

On the episode - ‘Sidemen Become حوإ¼½م½م for 24 hours' - features the group getting hands-on with livestock farming and learning about the challenges farmer's face on a daily basis.

Sideman also got involved with the physical work with plenty of dung work, scaling hay stacks, repairing leaking pipes and splitting logs.
