Near Parthenay. At 16, he tried his luck in the Mister Agricole election

Yanis David, 16, lives in Fomperron. A farmer at heart, he is currently completing his training at the MFR in Saint-Loup-sur-Thouet, which should enable him to obtain a professional baccalaureate.

Recently, he decided to renew his candidacy for the election of Mister Agricole. I find that it is a way to get farmers talking, and to break down the prejudices about agriculture that anyone may have. he wrote on social networks. He adds: Especially in these complicated times in the agricultural world, with the demonstrations and the very complicated weather conditions. I am motivated to talk about us, the farmers.

“This passion since I was little”

Currently in apprenticeship at GAEC Jarry in Moncoutant, the boy is also registered in the replacement service. After my baccalaureate, I plan to settle with my father on the family farm. I will be the fourth generation. On the farm we have 350 goats of the Saanen breed, and 200 calvings of the Parthenaise breed. We participate in many competitions in the Parthenaise breed, including the agricultural show. I have had this passion since I was little that his father passed on to him, he said. The connection with animals is what I like best about the job. I also like driving tractors. I love participating in competitions because it’s during these moments that we build huge bonds with animals. This also allows us to meet with breeders and discuss our various practices.

Registrations for the competition are open until November 29. The 20 most popular profiles in each category will then be submitted to a final jury. The latter will choose the winner and his two runners-up. The results will be published on the day of the Miss France election.
