Te Puke's Young Farmers' drive to become a more active club has landed it with an award.
Te Puke Young Farmers was named best club in the Waikato/Bay of Plenty area recently.
Chairman Andre Meier says it is good to be recognised for all the work that has been put into running the club in recent years.
Club members meet up socially once a month and there are also monthly farm yarns — where members meet in different farms to "have a look and share each other's ideas and systems." says Andre.
"A lot of the guys in Young Farmers are quite young and a lot are farm assistants and haven't been on a lot of other farms, so it's quite a good eye opener for them.
