Shropshire Young Farmers' Club is marking a momentous 80 years of community spirit, agricultural excellence and personal development.Founded in 1944, the organisation has played a pivotal role in nurturing young talent in the County’s rural areas.
The organisation has survived and adapted through many challenges, such as the foot and mouth outbreak in 2001, which saw a restriction on certain events.In 2013-2014, Shropshire members took forage to help farmers in the Somerset levels who suffered severe flooding. More recently the organisation adapted to the pandemic, which stopped all in person socials and competitions, instead we held zoom talks and zoom competitions.
Sir Algernon Heber-Percy, Lord-Lieutenant of Shropshire attended the Chairman’s Charity concert to present the award to the federation. "We’re so proud that our annual chairman's ball is one of the biggest young farmers balls in the country and it's great to get Shropshire on the map!"
