The schoolchildren visiting a farm for the first time

Schoolchildren visiting a farm for the first time are often overwhelmed by a “stimulus overload” that helps them understand where their food comes from, according to a charity.

A farmer who hosted young visitors to his Staffordshire site said some of them had never seen a cow before.

The children arrived under a government-supported Country Trust scheme.

Katie Busfield, coordinator, said: “Farmers are all really passionate about their jobs and they really enjoy sharing this world with the children.”
