​William, who is patron of charity We Are Farming Minds, will visit Herefordshire next Thursday, Kensington Palace said. He will meet John Bowler who runs a 190-acre farm, having unexpectedly taken over from his late father in 2012 at the age of 19. William will sit down with Mr Bowler, his wife Laura, and Sam Stables, founder of We Are Farming Minds, to discuss the importance of supporting farmers with their mental health. The prince will join daily farm tasks including pruning apple trees, building new fencing and feeding sheep. William became patron of Herefordshire-based We Are Farming Minds in March last year.

The organisation, founded by Sam and Emily Stables, was established to break the stigma surrounding mental health in the farming community.
