Britain's sexiest female farmer crowned

Miss Simpson, 25, beat hundreds of rivals to be crowned the most attractive female farmer in the country.

Anna hopes to take over the family farm in North Yorkshire.

Miss Simpson, of Hutton Rudby, Yorkshire, spends her working life on Windy Hill Farm training sheep dogs, driving tractors and encouraging animals to mate.

But she has now been crowned Britain's sexiest female farmer in a poll by Farmer's Weekly magazine.

Pete Mortimore, 25, has been voted Britain's sexiest male farmer and the pair win £250 each - and a pair of wellies.

Miss Simpson said: ''I think many people believe a stereotypical farmer is a man in his 60s but I wanted to show they can also be young women, who want to get stuck in but also enjoy a night out.

''When they told me I'd won I thought it was a wind-up. I saw the competition and I thought I'd give it a go and I was short-listed which was brilliant.

''I was quite surprised I got through as there were so many good entries so I'm really happy. I won £250 but I think the title alone is a great thing to have."

Tim Relf, of Farmers Weekly, said: ''Forget the old, stereotypical image of farmers as straw-chewing and scruffily dressed. That's history. They're seriously sexy.

''There's so much bad news around at the moment that we wanted to bring a smile to people's faces.

''There has also been a serious side to all this because many youngsters are reluctant to pursue careers in agriculture.

''So we also wanted to debunk some of the stereotypes about farming and show that it's as much of a fun, modern and vibrant business as any other trade or profession.''

Male winner Mr Mortimore, of Widdecombe-on-the-Moor, Devon, said: ''The best thing about being a farmer is the variety, working outdoors and the people I get to meet.''
