NFYFC video competition supported by NatWest

The National Federation of Young Farmers’ Clubs (NFYFC) has teamed up with NatWest to encourage young farmers across the country to promote their clubs to new members.

 A cash prize of £350 is up for grabs as the federation launches a video competition open to all young farmer clubs.

The aim of the competition is to highlight the good work young farmers do within their local communities, the support they provide to local and national charities and the positive impact they have on the agricultural, rural and wider industries.

NFYFC President and Countryfile presenter Charlotte Smith and Gareth Wyn Jones, star of the BBC’s The Hill Farm will be judging the video competition.

Ms Smith said, “I want the films to show the fun had by young farmers and the kind of skills that are passed on and the work that is being done in local communities. This is your chance to show the true face of YFC."
