I live on a small dairy farm milking 100 cows and working with a variety of young cattle. Some of my hobbies involve playing sports and I have a big interest in aviation.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Why did you join?<\/strong><br \/>\nI joined Young Farmers back in 2021 when I saw a sports night was being hosted. This gave me a good opportunity to meet new people and get me out of the house.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What have you got out of YF?<\/strong><br \/>\nI have now been part of the young farmers for 3 very successful years in which I have won a few awards. Within the young farmers so far I have been given plenty of opportunities to take part in activities and travel. This year I am heading to Ulster on an SAYFC Exchange. I was part of a group who went on club exchange last September and when I saw the opportunity to go again I couldn&#8217;t resist.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What do you want to get out of YF in the future?<\/strong><br \/>\nIn the next couple of years I would like to see more opportunities to travel the world via SAYFC and hopefully make more friends abroad and have more days away for activities.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Favourite random fact?<\/strong><br \/>\nSharing a birthday with worldwide user\/app Facebook.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We&#8217;re putting our New Members in the Spotlight, asking them about their YF experience and their hopes for the future.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":63,"featured_media":16940,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"venue":[],"class_list":["post-16939","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v24.3 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>New Members Spotlight!
