Nördlingerin shines in the young farmers' calendar 2026 - insights into the shooting!

Agriculture has a lot to offer these days, and this is also reflected in the impressive diversity and attractiveness of the young farmers' calendar. The path to realizing the calendar for 2026 began in the impressive thermal resort of Loipersdorf, Austria. Young farmers met there to explore different farms in the picturesque Hartberg-Fürstenfeld region. Under the direction of Philipp Knefz, a former Mister Austria, a modern and appealing image of agriculture was conveyed. Knefz emphasizes how important the continuous work of farmers is to guarantee supplies for the population.

A special highlight of the trip was the photo shoot for the cover photo at the Berger family farm in Vorau. All 24 selected models appeared in front of the camera to be on the cover of the young farmers' calendar. The process will be made interactive by putting the cover up for a vote on social media, allowing fans to decide who gets the cover. The next plans are already in place for 2027: The application deadline is May 1, 2026, and interested participants must meet a few requirements in order to be selected.

Application and conditions of participation

Anyone interested in taking part in the Young Farmers Calendar 2027 should have a connection to agriculture, be it through their parents, a partnership or their own agricultural activity. This means that the applicants are either farmers or foresters or work in such a company. To apply, you need to fill out an online form and submit application photos - leisure photos are also welcome. Alternatively, a casting form can be downloaded as a PDF.

Those interested must ensure that the initial selection is based on the application photos. If you have any questions, you can contact NEUES LAND Medien GesmbH in Graz directly. The contact details are easy to find and help to clarify everything important.

A look at the profession of farming

The role of farmers is often underestimated. They are the ones who make sure the table is set: they grow and care for vegetables, grains and animals. The activities are varied and range from cultivation and tending the fields to animal husbandry. So if you're thinking about getting into agriculture, you'll find training offers an exciting perspective. This usually lasts three years and takes place on a dual basis in a vocational school and a training company.

The future farmers learn everything they need for their job, from operating machines to accounting for the farm. It is a profession that requires great commitment and a good hand, and those who choose a career in agriculture can benefit from a variety of further training opportunities. From agricultural management to specialist agricultural sciences – the opportunities are great.

To be successful in agriculture, qualities such as care, responsibility and physical fitness are essential. The earning potential is also impressive: a fully trained farmer can earn between 2,150 and 3,000 euros gross per month, and the training is generously remunerated.

The history of the Young Farmers Calendar shows once again how important it is to present agriculture in a modern and attractive way, and the opportunity for young talents to show themselves and live out their passion for the world of agriculture.
