Sian Grove, 27, was nominated and shortlisted for the ‘Young Farmer of the Year’ category, in the National Young Farmers Achiever Awards.
The awards ceremony took place on Saturday November 2 at the National Conference Centre in Birmingham.
Sian was recognised for her contribution to the island’s agricultural community.
She joined YFC without a background in farming and has gone on to hold roles in the IW club, now in her second year as Chair.
As a first-generation shepherdess with 18 sheep, Sian uses social media to inspire others to get involved in farming and has also started her own farming enterprise.
She is also an NFU Student & Young Farmer Ambassador, and Secretary for the IOW Gilten Market.
Sian’s main job is as Secretary for the Royal Isle of Wight County Show, where she enjoys bridging the gap between the public and the farming community.
Sian has also actively engaged with schools to promote YFC and agricultural careers.
Despite not taking home the trophy, she represented the island well, and it is a real achievement to have someone from the Isle of Wight YFC to be recognised and shortlisted for the national award.
