It was a sentiment echoed by club secretary Liv Thomson, who said members were proud of having a positive presence in their community.
In November last year they held their Movember at the Mount event and raised $10,000 for charity, including $7000 for the NZ Movember Foundation, $1000 for the Ashburton Area St John, $1000 for Westpac Helicopter and $1000 for Mt Somers swimming pool.
Other fundraisers have included roguing beet, carting small bales of hay for a local horse owner and planting 1000 native plants on a high country station.
They have regular get-togethers including taking part in farm industry tours, flood relief volunteer work and take part in competitive events.
Most recently members Jimmy Sinclair and Jeff Cooke did well in regional competitions for the FMG Young Farmer of the Year and clay bird shooting respectively.
Thomson said club members were always looking for ways to learn new skills and to improve as young members of the community.
"It's a great way to relax outside of work and form great relationships with like-minded people in our area," she said.
