With Birchip Cropping Group’s Young Farmer Network rapidly expanding, senior manager of extension and communications Grace Hosking is encouraging more young farmers to register with the group.
An influx of new members attended events in Kaniva, Boort, Warracknabeal, Sea Lake and Bridgewater.
Ms Hosking said the members were enthusiastic to learn and to meet new people.
“In our role as the Vic Hub’s North West Broadacre Node, BCG has brought together hundreds of young farmers from across the region in recent weeks to build knowledge, create networks and support each other through our Young Farmer Network events,” she said.
