Fred Junior, 12, is a farming prodigy in the North West.He spoke about his current projects, interests and why he believes it is important to make a difference in everything you do.In Grade 2, Fred Junior Maccarthy realised that he liked farming. At school, he would sit down with his teacher and write stories about his farming trips during school holidays and weekends.
His previous farm, his father's garden of sweet potatoes and free-range chickens in his backyard, had now moved to a bigger plot. "I want it to be a place where children can come and learn about farming. He said parents who didn't have money for tractors could bring their children to play with big toys and help them become commercial farmers," he said.
"During Covid, we spent more time on the farm, and his father would carry him on the tractor. They would farm during the school holidays. His dad loves agriculture and taught him about it," she said.
