Hi everyone,
As many of you know this is my last year in young farmers. The reason for this petition are the following;
- 26 is not old, in England the average age of farmers is 53.30.
- Smaller Clubs relies on older members of the club to Compete & help with guidance.
- I know a lot of people 26 yrs who still wish to compete.
- Many young people are not settling down until their 30's (unlike the olden days).
- You can be a young Farmer in Scotland till you are 30 years old.
- It will mean smaller clubs will have more members.
Remember that soon you will be 26 & not eliagable to compete, this proberly won't benifit me but will benifit you! Many thanks, Claire
