As a a group we wanted our main story for the Kent Life package to be about the young generation being encouraged into the farming industry - however, we thought that it would make a much more interesting and more formal news piece if we had facts and figures to back up our story discussing the decline in farmers over the years. I did some research and found a website which talks about how since the late 1930's to the year 2000 the farming industry has took a turn for the worse and declined heavily - now with farmers only being 2% of the workforce in the UK.

I thought if we use the information I found here we can create a more in-depth and diminutional story - so it has more of a purpose. Instead of us just talking about the Cobtree Young Farmers being interested in farming, we could talk about how there is a need for young farmers and talk about the decline in farming.
It then came to my attention that we could use the facts and figures to our advantage and use graphics in our package as the researched packages I've looked at used graphics and they made it look a higher quality of a news piece.
I've decided to do some more research on the graphics/charts and find out more on how we could add this to our package.
