DEVON Federation of Young Farmers’ Clubs, which is trying to raise more than £400,000 to fund new headquarters in Cheriton Bishop, has received some good news.

Members of The Dartington Cattle Breeders Trust recently had a tour of the premises and heard about Devon YFC’s plans for the future.

Afterwards the Trust said it was thrilled with the YFC project and donated £25,000 towards the project.

In a statement to Devon YFC Chairman, Caroline Trude, the Trust said: “The Trustees of the Dartington Cattle Breeding Trust are delighted to be able to support the Devon Young Farmers’ in their new venture to acquire their own premises.

“It is an incredible opportunity and a sound investment, which will be able to help so many Young Farmers now and in the future. It will be a real legacy which the Devon YFC team should be extremely proud of and we wish them the very best of luck with their continued fundraising.”
