PROFILE OF A DAIRY FARM MANAGER

My passion for the lifestyle and wanting to be my own boss drew me back to the area as a Share Farmer.

JOE I now lease a property with a total of 180 cows. To improve my skills I have undertaken on-the-job training as well as several short courses.

The herringbone dairy milks 130 cows per hour. There has been about a 35% increase in production since I started in the industry. I get a chance to go on holidays a couple of times throughout the year.

There are huge opportunities in the dairy industry because industry pathways allow young people to build a career whilst gaining qualifications.
