FARMS across the area are being encouraged to help youngsters learn about life on the farm.
A new series of grants are being made available to help provide the facilities needed so farms can host educational school visits.
They are being offered through the Higher Level Stewardships scheme (HLS) to improve visitor access to farms such as classrooms, washroom facilities and access furniture such as kissing gates.
Successful applicants will also be eligible for an annual base payment and revenue payments for up to 25 educational visits per year.
There are currently over 60 farmers in Yorkshire supplementing their income by offering educational visits
