A program aimed at enriching the knowledge and passion of young dairy farmers marks its fifth anniversary.
Twenty-eight young dairy farmers from across Australia gathered in Melbourne to participate in the Proud to be a Dairy Farmer program, an initiative organized by the Fonterra Australia Suppliers’ Council (FASC).
Held from February 25 to 27, 2025, the program aims to build connections and confidence among young dairy farmers while highlighting rewarding career paths in the dairy industry. Over the three-day event, participants engaged in activities ranging from farm tours to factory visits, gaining both theoretical and practical knowledge.
A highlight was the Gala Dinner, which brought together industry leaders. Jane Napier, one of the attendees, shared her experiences citing the value of networking and learning different farming systems. Looking forward, applications for the next session of the program open in October 2025.
