YOUNG farmers in the North East are invited to a farm finance workshop to be held in Wangaratta on Wednesday, May 18 between 6.30pm and 8pm.

Agriculture Victoria young farmer coordinator Sarah Wallis said it was wonderful to be able to offer the Farm Finance – Getting Prepared session as an in–person event after having to shift to an online format for the past two years.

"This year it's about coming together, being together and interacting with our financial specialists to ask those burning finance questions in a safe space," Ms Wallis said.

"Our take on this is to provide the kind of experts at this workshop who can cut through the 'bank speak' and enable young farmers to be well prepared when applying for financing."

The workshop is one of five which will be held across the state, with Bairnsdale, Horsham, Maryborough and Ouyen also hosting an event.

ORM Agribusiness consultant Jane Foster said the workshops will be an opportunity to have open and transparent conversations about farm finance and get some tips on how to communicate in 'bank speak'.

"By the end of the session participants will have a new clarity on finance and how the whole system works," Ms Foster said.

Young farmer Josh said workshops like the Farm Finance – Getting Prepared sessions were a great way to bring like–minded people together.

"It's great to have these programs running again as we come out of the pandemic, they're an excellent opportunity to network and come together," he said.
