Seventeen-year-old Flossy from Somerset runs her family farm even though she's still at school.

Every day involves juggling farm work with school work, and with her exams approaching the pressure is on.

He's keen to prove to his mum that he can handle lambing season on his own and do it well. And 18-year-old Lewis, the son of an organic dairy farmer, is in his third year studying agriculture.
