Britain's Fittest Farmer

Britain's Fittest Farmer aims to get all farmers thinking and talking about their health, physical and mental, to make sure they are in top condition to run their farm businesses.

As farming becomes less active and more mechanised and office-based, it’s more important than ever before to make sure Britain’s farmers are getting the exercise that they need to stay fit and healthy.

Farming can also be an isolating job, which is why it is also vital for farmers to focus on their own mental health and wellbeing so that they can keep their business in tip-top condition too.
