National Young Farmers Week 2018

National Young Farmers Week 2018: 8th – 12th October

We asked our members “What Young Farmers Means to me…”

Hazel, Intermediate Member of Oundle Young Farmers 

Joining young farmers is possibly the one of the best decisions I have ever made! This is because I’ve gone from being one of the most nervous people, that used to shake before meetings, to becoming secretary within a few short years. Along the way I’ve made some of the best friends ever, that have encouraged me to try things I never thought I’d be able to do, like stock judging and public speaking.

Going to young farmers is incredible, because I know that at least once a week I will be surrounded by people similar to me, which brings along an amazing sense of belonging. I’ve done some of the strangest activities that never crossed my mind to attempt, like flower arranging, which has definitely made me more confident as I’m now much more willing to give something a go even if I’ve never done it before!
