🌾 Supporting the Next Generation of Farming Leaders 🌾

— and perfect timing for National Federation of Young Farmers' Clubs Young Farmers’ Week! 🙌


We’re proud to share that the Staffordshire & Birmingham Agricultural Society sponsors two delegates from Staffordshire YFC to attend the Oxford Farming Conference.

Back in January 2025, Danny and Andy attended under this year’s inspiring theme “Facing Change, Finding Opportunity.” 🌱

The Oxford Farming Conference brings together inspiring speakers, industry leaders, and future thinkers to explore the challenges and opportunities shaping British agriculture.

We’re delighted to have supported Danny and Andy on this exciting opportunity to learn, connect, and bring fresh ideas back to Staffordshire’s farming community — and we’re thrilled to continue our support for another two Staffordshire YFC members to attend OFC2026! 👏
