Farm selfies: Farmers kick off 2018 with a smile
As a bit of fun to usher in the new year, we’ve been asking you to send in your farming selfies and sharing our favourites on our Facebook, Twitter and Instagram pages.
True to form our brilliant readers have delivered and then some – we’ve literally been flooded with cracking photos of farmers striking a pose while out at work.
Much like Kim Kardashian’s rear end, we’re worried that sharing all of your farm selfies at once might break the internet.

While we are trying our best to use as many of the hundreds that we’ve received to date, we can’t guarantee that every single one will be featured.
Don’t let this put you off sending them in though. We can assure you that we look at all of them and we love how our readers are into the farm selfie craze.
We’ve picked out some of our absolute favourite farm selfies so far. Enjoy!

Send us your farming snapshots
Keep your farming photos coming in – we really can’t get enough of them. It’s really easy to submit yours – simply email fwfarmlife@rbi.co.uk, send them on Whatsapp (message 07881 803 480) or via direct message on the Farmers Weekly Facebook page.
Be sure to send your photos in as high resolution as possible – the higher the better for print quality. They can be cute, funny, romantic – pretty much anything goes (within reason).
Not only is there a chance they will appear in the magazine and on our website in our regular Farmlife Framed feature, there’s a chance they could be shared on our Facebook, Twitter and Instagram pages and go viral.
