Description

So you have jobs you need doing on your farm and you need to recruit an army with youth on their side. This episode will help you find, attract, select and keep young blood to your farm and sheep enterprise. Of course there are lots of other benefits  when we attract youth, especially for those young people who don't have a farm in their family or don't attend a school with a agriculture program.  Let's spread the sheep love to all ages and socioeconomic backgrounds I say!In this episode you will meet Brooklyn Collocott from Young Farmers Australia on Instagram. Brooklyn has been working here at HVF for four years now. She is a year 10 student who is also studying Agriculture at Mary MacKillop College in Leongatha. And Tash Pollard is back! You might remember her from the Happy Hampies podcast. Tash is an Animal Science student from Federation University in Churchill, Victoria, Australia. She runs Blackpond Hampshire Down Stud based in Langwarrin Victoria and has completed her 12 day placement here with us on here farm. This was a very organic chat with the girls on how farmers and sheep breeders in particular can tap into the resource and energy that is youth. By doing so we give back as well as pave a positive future for sheep and agriculture in our communities. Support the showWant more! Want to show us some sheep love?
