An agriculture student who has wanted to be a farmer all his life has been awarded this year’s prestigious John Innes Foundation Bursary which supports young people starting their farm management and crop production careers.

Veteran haulier Ian Connor of  Gartocharn based J Cooper & Co is this year’s recipient of the Stalwart award, presented annually by NFU Scotland’s Argyll & the Islands region.
