Tuks Landbou is more than just an organisation, we are the hope of the future and the farmers of tomorrow. We are a dynamic group of individuals who thrive when working together. Ultimately we bring farming to the student and expose them to the aspects regarding farming in South Africa. We broaden our knowledge and our social groups and by doing so we build a future for ourselves and the agricultural community.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

We are a student based organisation who are focused on giving our members exposure to the agricultural industry since 1980. We strive to create an environment for students to meet fellow agri-enthusiasts who can support and empower each other.<\/p>

We aim to provide students with necessary contact with the industry to see practically what is all about above and beyond the theory and university based practical. We also create numerous networking abilities with some of the leaders and pace setters of our sector.<\/p>

We generously invite other faculties to experience this with us and become \u201cfriends of Tuks\u00a0Landbou\u201d as we are not able to tackle the challenges alone. We above all try to enrich our members lives and university experience through socials and important experiences.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
