Baby Alex was out in the paddocks at just six days old so, now at nine weeks, he’s practically an old hand! He “suggested” we take a break from fence repairs for a quick snack. Great view for brunch.
Just discovered your blog yesterday—very enjoyable.
The present plight of the diary industry leaves me very flat.
I still believe that dairying has appeal to youth—parts of the industry have given up. Also a dairy farm can be the best general training ground for young Australians—if I can buy one for our school I will.
Thanks Tony. You’re right – there are lots of opportunities for young people. Actually, there’s an excellent program for schools that I’d really encourage you to check out at http://www.dairyyouthaustralia.com.au/
This brainchild of an enterprising dairy farm headed by Lynne Strong makes learning about ag great fun!
