Become a Member

The FarmLink membership package has been restructured to encompass all facets of farming across the FarmLink region of Southern New South Wales.

A new introduction is our Farmer Member package which is opened up to a maximum of eight individuals (family and/or employees) within the member farming business.

Embracing our future farmers, FarmLink has also introduced a free Future Farmer Member package for students studying Agricultural Science or Veterinary Science at university. This will allow students to access FarmLink publications, attend events and gain practical understanding of agriculture and agribusiness in SNSW.

Encouraging researchers and advisors to engage with FarmLink as members, as well as RD&E partners is the primary driver behind creation of the Researcher & Advisor Member package. This membership provides an opportunity for researchers and advisors to become a part of the FarmLink family, enjoying informal access to Farmer members, develop broader understanding of RD&E needs in SNSW and develop and refine their scientific approaches to fit the farming systems of Farmer Members.

Similarly, the new Corporate Member package provides an opportunity for agribusinesses to become a part of the FarmLink family, developing and enjoying informal relationships with other members and accessing FarmLink resources and events to better understand the needs of farming businesses across the region.
