Not all our members are from a farming background. From accountants to engineers and land agents to builders YFC encompasses all walks of life, it’s more than just farming. At county level there are seven committees which have representatives from clubs to decide what direction the federation heads in. Becoming a committee representative is easy and the organisation.
