Membership Services

The delivery of services to members will be based on a number of guiding principles. These have been developed to best utilise the strengths and resources of the NSW Farmers Association, and take into account the role of other young farmer groups in the farming and agribusiness landscape.

The guiding principles are:

• The Young Farmer Presidential Taskforce will work with others where there are established and superior paths to goal. A key facet of this principle is the use of resources and partnerships already developed by the NSW Farmers Association, including access to, and participation from, peak industry bodies. In particular, the Young Farmers Presidential Taskforce will develop stronger linkages with other young farmer committees, including the National Council of Young Farmers, and educational facilities, i.e. Universities, TAFE institutions. 
• The Young Farmers Presidential Taskforce will seek to bring innovative ideas to the Association and its members, in particular where these are beyond current time horizons. 
• Several of the Young Farmers activities will be focused around encouraging integration and supporting the activities of others to avoid duplication of services.
• The Young Farmers Presidential Taskforce, in association with the NSW Farmers Association, will leverage its resources for young farmer activities. Where activities can be better done in partnership with or better by others, the Young Farmers committee will facilitate, but not deliver, this service. 
• The Young Farmers Presidential Taskforce will provide a direct vehicle of communication to the NSW Farmers Association executive team, and act as a reference group for policy.
