Recognising his passion for farming and the benefits this could bring to his business, Andrew then offered Adam a full time apprenticeship.<\/p>\n<p>Wheatsheaf Farm is a 100 acre lowland sheep and arable farm which has been owned and run by Andrew for 30 years. Its sheep flock consists of 180 breeding ewes and 800 store lambs, with the arable crops used mainly as winter feed.<\/p>\n<p>Adam carries out all farm duties including buying and selling and also has some commercial sheep and his own Stonelowe Texel pedigree flock at home in Longsdon near Leek.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to his Reaseheath awards, Adam was also runner-up in the Competent Young Person\u2019s category in this year\u2019s Cheshire County Farms Competition.<\/p>\n<p>He said: \u201cThese have been amazing achievements for me and I am very proud. I think an apprenticeship gives you the freedom to learn the best way of doing things as you are hands-on every day.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Andrew Fithon added: \u201cAdam is enthusiastic and capable of carrying out every job on the farm. He is of great help to me and to my business.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>Reaseheath College is a leading apprentice trainer and also provides a valuable recruitment service for employers. Together with Dart Training in Derbyshire, the college trains over 1000 apprentices <\/strong><strong>in land based industries <\/strong><strong>and works in partnership with hundreds of large, medium and small employers. <\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.reaseheath.ac.uk\/apprenticeships\">Click here to find out more about our apprenticeships<\/a>.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div><\/section>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-av_hr-4474f20d2389e2e5ecf918a02da5132e\">\n#top .hr.hr-invisible.av-av_hr-4474f20d2389e2e5ecf918a02da5132e{\nheight:50px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='hr av-av_hr-4474f20d2389e2e5ecf918a02da5132e hr-invisible  avia-builder-el-3  el_after_av_textblock  avia-builder-el-last '><span class='hr-inner '><span class=\"hr-inner-style\"><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A trainee shepherd has carried off top honours at an awards ceremony for apprentices at Reaseheath College, Cheshire.<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on get_the_excerpt --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on get_the_excerpt --><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":16,"featured_media":84560,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[468],"tags":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v24.4 -
