As a former young farmer, a former president of the West Anglia Federation of YFCs and now an old farmer (73 today, as it happens), I sympathise very much with Helen M. Reeve. I do not know what the answer is, for it is factual that there are few people employed on the land these days. My great grandfather employed 50 or so men; my grandfather 30 or so; my father a dozen; and I just a couple before I sold much of my land. What I have observed, though, is that it was often those youngsters from non-farming backgrounds who made the best entrants to farming. They had positively chosen farming and it showed. Short of the national and compulsory creation of vastly more state small holdings (which I would not want and cannot see coming), I see few opportunities for new entrants, other than through narrow specialism or the tried and tested method of matrimony, for which the YFCs are well-known.
