I have really enjoyed getting out on a different farm and learning how somebody else runs their farm because every farmer has a different style of farming. I'd love to learn more.

So far I have really enjoyed the opportunity to get out of the class room and going to work on someone else’s farm. I like learning and practicing the practical skills of farming.

Name: Paddy Hudson

Farmer: Grant Barrie

I have enjoyed being able to spend one day a week out of school working on a farm doing some practical work and I am learning a lot. Doing this has helped me learn new skills and is preparing me to leave school.

I have really enjoyed my work experience because I know I am going to be using the knowledge I have learnt when I own a farm of my own some day.

Name: Brooke Forde

Farmer: Malcolm & Sue Day

Industry: Sheep & Beef

Being given the opportunity to be out on the farm doing a wide range of practical work is really enjoyable. So far it has been great to experience farming in the high country and the different ways that things have to be done. I am pleased to get a taste of high country farming and I might look into it once I am out of school.
