NUFFIELD FARMING SCHOLARSHIP APPLICATIONS OPEN


Applications for the Nuffield Farming Scholarship for 2012 are now open, and close on 30thJune. 

Nuffield Australia awards Scholarships each year to farmers in Australia. The objective is to increase practical farming knowledge and management skills and techniques generally. These scholarships give Australian citizens the opportunity to study farming practices in New Zealand, Europe, Asia and the Americas and those countries best suited to the Scholar. They will also promote a closer understanding between farmers in the countries visited.

Upon returning to Australia it is expected that Scholars will be able to actively spread the knowledge and understanding they have gained among their fellow farmers and others.
Nuffield Farming Scholarships give a unique opportunity to stand back from your day-to-day occupation, and to study a subject of interest to you. You do not need academic qualifications, but you will need to persuade the Selectors that you have the qualities to make the best use of an opportunity that is only given to a few.

Tasmanian Young Farmer of the Year


HOW IS THE YOUNG FARMER TITLE DECIDED?
To be named the Tasmanian Young Farmer of the Year, competitors participate in two separate days of competition.

The Young Farmer competition is one of the largest competitions run.  Usually around August each year, each Region of Rural Youth holds their own Young Farmer Runoff - which anyone can enter.  It tests skills such as stock judging, seed ID, first aid, fencing, etc - anything that is associated with farming.   It is always a fun day where even people who know very little about farming can test their skills and enjoy learning something new!

Each Region automatically qualify their five best "Young Farmers" to the State Final held in September, with the best six of these fighting it out with the last two modules - Public Speaking and Quiz during the Dinner in the evening.  The Final is held on the same weekend as the Rural Roundup competitions.

We have many sponsors for the Young Farmer competition which make prizes for the final six well worth winning! 


FIND OUT MORE:   If you would like to know more about how to enter or how to become a supporter of this competition, please contact that Rural Youth Head Office on (03) 63316154 or email admin@ruralyouth.com.au or visit the website at http://www.ruralyouth.com.au/young-farmer-of-the-year
