YFC news: Kyle Scott crowned SAYFC Junior Farmer

Kyle Scott of Crossroads Young Íæż½ã½ã' Club has been announced as the the first ever Scottish Federation of Young Íæż½ã½ã' Junior Young Farmer of the Year. The 14-year-old was awarded the title at the Royal Highland Show after impressing judges with his well-presented farm plan and essay entitled If You Do a Job You Love…, in which he talked about his dream of becoming a vet and his plans to achieve this.

Kyle said: "I could not believe I had won when I first saw the results and it still has not really sunk in yet. To be the first ever winner is really special. I am definitely going to get involved in more Young Íæż½ã½ã' competitions in the future and maybe even take a crack at the senior Young Farmer of the Year competition in a few years' time." 

This was the first time the award was presented at the Royal Highland Show

This new competition, open to members between 14 and 18 years old, aims to engage with junior members, recognise their effort and achievements, and get them to start thinking about their future. 
Results: Age 17-18 years: 1. Jamie Boyd, East Kilbride; 2. Molly Poyser, Strichen; 3. Meg Christie, Lesmahagow. Age 14-16 Years: 1. Kyle Scott, Crossroads; 2. Hannah Hunter, Peeblesshire; 3. Katie McCall, Kilmaurs.
