The Farmers’ Union of Wales has honoured the Wales YFC with it’s external award for services to agriculture at the Royal Welsh Show.
The Wales Federation of Young Farmers Clubs is a voluntary youth organisation operating bilingually throughout rural Wales.
Over 5,000 young people aged between 10 and 26 years are currently members of the organisation, all of which are members of a network of 157 YFC Clubs and twelve County Federations.
Presenting the award FUW President Glyn Roberts said: “It is a pleasure to present the Wales YFC with this award. They are a dynamic organisation and do a great deal for our Welsh language by being accessible bilingually to our rural young people.
“The work they do in helping and supporting young people to become successful farmers, confident individuals, effective contributors and responsible citizens, can’t be praised enough. If only we could bottle the YFC secret sauce and introduce it to our larger towns and cities I'm sure we could rid ourselves of many societal problems.”
