Earlier this year, Rural Youth and RB Sellars teamed up to celebrate the hard work and commitment of our Agfest volunteers. Every Rural Youth member who volunteered at Agfest 2026 was gifted an RB Sellars quarter-zip jumper proudly displaying the Rural Youth logo.

We love partnering with businesses that support young Tasmanians and the Rural Youth community, and it's safe to say these jumpers have become a favourite among our members.

A huge thank you to RB Sellars for helping us celebrate the volunteers who make Agfest possible each year 💚

Late last month, we took the time to celebrate the success of Agfest 2026 with our volunteers and Rural Youth team.

Agfest would not be possible without the dedication of our volunteers, the countless hours spent at working bees and the commitment shown by our members throughout the year. From planning and preparation to event delivery, every contribution plays a part in making Agfest the success it is.

A huge thank you to everyone involved. Now, the countdown to Agfest 2027 begins!

📢 Hear from last year’s Woolworths Tasmanian Young Farmer of the Year winner, Andrew Marshall.

Andrew entered the competition to challenge himself and grow his knowledge - despite not being a Rural Youth member and not knowing anyone else competing. By the end of the competition, he took home first place in the $55,000 prize pool.

Outside of the competition, Andrew works as a Farm Manager, where he and his wife run their own beef cattle operation.

🚨🚨 The competition is open to anyone aged 15–30, and you do not need to be a Rural Youth member to enter.

It’s National Volunteer Week, and we want to recognise the incredible volunteers who make Rural Youth Tasmania what it is.

We appreciate everything you do!

The tradition lives on!

Every year, our incredible volunteers line Main Street to wave, cheer and dance our exhibitors out after another huge Agfest and this year was no exception.

It’s a small way for our Rural Youth team to say thank you to all of the exhibitors who help make Agfest such a special event year after year!
