The Young Farmers Network is running ‘Farm Finance -Getting Prepared’ workshops in five locations across the state including Wangaratta.

These workshops are a great opportunity for young farmers to learn more about the ins and outs of approaching the bank.

The workshops will be delivered in an informal fireside chat style facilitated by Jane Foster of ORM with support from a local agricultural banker. There will be a question and answer session so participants are encouraged to bring their burning questions!

The workshops are for young farmers who want to more information on the how and what of applying for rural finance. No prior knowledge required.

Note: In order to attend this event all attendees must be fully vaccinated (or medically exempt) and vaccination status must be sighted before entering the venue.
