National Ag Day with Andrea Naish + Tegan Milne
Celebrating National Ag Day, we're joined by two guests shaping the future of Australian agriculture.
Amanda Naish, founder of Australian Future Farmers Exchange, shares her mission to empower the next generation of farmers through education and opportunity. She highlights the alarming statistic of the average age of farmers in Australia and the need to encourage young people to return to farming. Amanda shares her journey in agriculture, the challenges young farmers face, and the misconceptions surrounding the industry. We also cover the diverse pathways available in agriculture and the supportive community that exists within the field.
And Tegan Milne, a solicitor specialising in commercial and succession planning at Beck Legal, delves into the critical topic of succession planning in agriculture, highlighting its importance for family farms. Tegan explains the nuances of succession planning, emphasising the need for early discussions among family members to avoid disputes later. We also touch on the challenges faced by farmers, the resilience required in the industry, and the collaborative nature of planning for the future of farming businesses.
