The NFU was founded in 1908 and is financed by members' subscriptions. We are not affiliated to any political party and have a completely democratic structure. See our Who's Who list here.
Today, our trade association is the largest farming organisation in the UK, providing a strong and respected voice for the industry and employing a team of 500 staff to support the needs of its members locally, nationally and internationally.
Among its many strengths is its unique network of local offices and advisers, co-funded by NFU Mutual, meaning NFU members are never far from one of our representatives. Contact your regional office here.
These branches are co-ordinated from the NFU's purpose-built headquarters on the Royal Showground at Stoneleigh Park in Warwickshire.
