Harper Adams

Members of Harper Cymru have had a busy month throughout November, with charity fundraising efforts amounting to over £4000, and finishing off the month with a trip to the Royal Welsh Winter Fair.

With the 24/25 academic year underway, let’s meet Harper Cymru’s new cohort of executives who will be stepping up to run the society for the year.

Since the academic year is over and the summer months are coming to an end, we’ve caught up with a some Harper Cymru students to find out what they’ve been doing over the last few months.

At the start of the month, Harper students had the opportunity to visit Pickstock Telford Ltd, a family run beef processing facility in Shropshire. They received a very warm welcome, and would like to thank the team for the experience!

All Harper Adams students spend a year on work placement during their studies, to gain more real world experience in the agricultural industry. This month we hear from 3rd year student Mynor Beech about his placement with Dale Farming Ltd.

My name is Nerys Parry and I am currently in my second year at Harper Adams University studying Bsc (Hons) Agri-food Marketing with Business. I come from a beef and sheep farm in Monmouthshire, South-East Wales, where I live with my parents, two brothers and sister.

This month we talk to Lliwen Williams, Harper Adams student and Social Media Exec for the Harper Cymru society, about her background in farming, life at Harper, and her plans for the future.

Siân Teleri Jones, a Harper Adams Agri-Business student and North Wales contractor, details her enriching New Zealand agricultural experience and her advocacy for women in farming on ‘Grassmen’.

After a few weeks off during the summer, all students have returned to Harper Adams University. Some are starting on their first year, some on their second year, and some on their fourth year. At the start of the month all 2nd and 4th year Harper Cymru members came together to socialise at the local pub.

With the 23/24 academic year about to begin, let’s meet the society’s new cohort of exec’s who’ll be stepping up to run the society for the coming year.
