Our objectives are:

- To support and promote agriculture, rural and allied industries throughout the North of England including championing the role of farmers as providers of high-quality produce and encouraging consumers to choose healthy and local produce.

To advance and encourage agricultural research and greater understanding and empathy with farming and the countryside amongst the general public and particularly children.

To advance and encourage the protection and sustainability of the environment.

To hold in pursuance of its main objectives an annual agricultural show.
