I completed a degree in Agricultural Science (with first class honours) in 2002 and have successfully owned and operated my own sheep and beef property since 2007. Throughout this time I have continued to further invest in my own personal development completing several professionally recognised courses. I have also coordinated and facilitated farm discussion groups and held numerous positions on local committees and regional councils. I have proven practical experience and insight and have continued to grow and develop my own sheep and beef farming business. I am passionate about the farming sector and the promise it holds and I want to see farming businesses and the people behind them thrive. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60e7d5bff0e2730b02db7058/1627027140132-GG7FKYGMIDUXSE7ZE5MS/unsplash-image-tGtWKDdicn4.jpg About - Transforming your Farmlife I have drawn on my practical experience and off farm personal development to create FARMLIFE ADVISORY, aiming to aid and assist in the growth and development of your farming business.
