Our Farming Networks help ensure that the agricultural community is stronger, fitter and better equipped for the future.
They provide ongoing support, advice and opportunities for all those within the agricultural industry to develop both personally and professionally.
By organising and hosting events for the farming and rural community at locations across Yorkshire, our networks offer support, inspiration and the sharing of knowledge. Everyone is welcome.
