Farm Visits
Nothing beats getting out on farm and picking up ideas and learning new ways of working. NFYFC’s YFC AGRI group regularly organise farm visits so look out for ones that are being advertised for members to join.
In the meantime, why not contact a demonstration farm network, university or research centre to broaden your farming horizon?
Visit a farm
