Reuben Crowter, who is in the second year of an Agriculture Level 3 course at Easton College, outside Norwich, was selected for the prize by the Worshipful Company of Farmers.

The 17-year-old has already impressed college tutors with his "energy, professionalism, and a deep-rooted passion" for his industry.

And he has also developed practical knowledge during the past three years by working alongside his father on a new sheep farming business at Great Ellingham, near Attleborough, which has grown from a handful of animals to a flock of 70.

Reuben helps out every day........
