Membership
For more than 200 years the Three Counties Agricultural Society has played an important role in promoting and supporting agriculture, food production, horticulture and all land based rural activities in Herefordshire, Worcestershire and Gloucestershire. Whether we live and work or simply enjoy spending time in our countryside, our rural environment and community is important to all of us.
With ever increasing pressures on many of our rural communities the role of the Three Counties Agricultural Society has never been more critical.
With the continued support of our members we are able to provide valuable support and initiatives throughout the year including:
A diverse educational programme aimed at improving rural understanding
An annual Farming Seminar
Support for the Young Farmers
Rural business support
Financial assistance for livestock exhibitors
Support for the Rare Breeds Survival Trust
Assistance for the Nuffield Scholarship
Plus the staging of the largest agricultural showcase in the area the Three Counties Show and the new children’s show CountryTastic.
Each and every member of the Three Counties Agricultural Society recognises the importance of rural communities and our countryside and in recognition of their continued support, members gain a number of personal benefits.
