Q4 Joining a YFC is a great start and as well as agri comps and networking there are also industry opportunities available to members to get involved in and learn more about the sector. #agrichatuk
Again share any ideas please. If you weren’t from a farming background, how did you get into it? I went to @WrittleOfficial to study equine and fell into the sector there... #AgriChatUK
