Young farmer’s newest club

For the first time in many years, a thriving young farmers club is operating in the Te Puke area.

President Sean Cuff says 30 people have joined the club, which draws members from the Western Bay of Plenty region and parts of Rotorua.

“We meet each month at Mollys in Te Puke for our formal meeting but try to have weekly informal meetings so everyone can catch up and have some fun time out from work.

“It’s great to network, especially if you might be having an issue on the farm, like with a virus among calves, as others might have had the same experience and can help out with advice. It’s also a good way to help find jobs.”

Last month the club took part in a Young Farmers Fight Night at Mystery Creek’s Bledisloe building, with club member Matt Jones entering the boxing ring to help raise $3400 for LandSAR.

“We would also welcome sponsorship from local businesses to assist with club activities,” says Sean.

Te Puke’s young farmers club meets 7pm on the last Tuesday of every month at Molly O’Connors, 110 Jellicoe St, Te Puke.
