Young Farmers’ Club membership plea as renewals drop >More in Members of the Probus YFC delivering food to people isolating during the first lockdown © Probus YFC Young farmers are being urged to renew their club memberships amid concern that cash-strapped county federations are struggling in the face of dwindling support during the coronavirus crisis.
