Would you like to kick-start your journey into agriculture with guidance from Kaleb Cooper?

A bursary with the opportunity to work with farming celebrity Kaleb Cooper has officially opened for willing applicants seeking to pursue a career in agriculture.

The Clarkson's Farm star told his 2 million Instagram followers the Kaleb Cooper Agriculture Bursary would now start taking application from Monday (September 25) onwards.

In partnership with the Royal Agricultural University (RAU), the bursary had launched back in May with the Chipping Norton contractor eager to demonstrate how ‘agriculture can be for anybody' and the 'importance of youth to the future of farming'.

Having helped a relative newcomer to the industry a few years ago in Jeremy Clarkson to get up to the pace of life as a farmer, RAU said Mr Cooper will be contributing £3,000 to the bursary.

Mr Cooper - who came from a non-agricultural background himself - said he was ‘looking forward to supporting young students on their journey' who are struggling to get into farming and wanting to kick-start their career in the agricultural sector.

RAU confirmed two bursaries are available, with a potential work placement alongside Mr Cooper, for students aged 18 to 30 who live in the UK, and study at RAU.

Preference may be given to students from non-farming backgrounds, RAU added.
