Case study: One-to-one mentoring for a new entrant to farming

Paul Rowlston is a livestock farmer with over 13 years’ experience.  He specialises in breeding, rearing and showing cattle and sheep.  Well known for his practical experience and knowledge, Paul was approached by a new crofter in his community who was looking for advice and practical support. Keen to help, but with limited time and resources – Paul applied for ‘mentor’ status via FAS to cover his time while providing support to new business owner, Billy Matheson.

Here, Paul shares his thoughts on being an FAS mentor
