Propagate Young Farmer Business Program

Jasmine and Hayden Green run a cattle seedstock program in Uranquinty, as well as offering embryo and semen packages across multiple sales. For them, a diversification of land and business is the safest way to build a successful and thriving business.

Jase Finlay and the team at Oyster Life are using new technology in their farming methods to make sure their business is as resilient as possible against future threats, as well as helping them stick to their four day work week.

Lewis and Pippa Goodman are currently working a piece of land through share farming, while Lewis works for another farmer as well. They see the benefits of working a few different jobs, as well as different properties, to ensure their future stays as stable as possible.

Tamara and Craig Corby are focused on their goal to own their own piece of land one day. Part of that is staying nimble and always ready to change tactics when a curve ball is thrown their way. After going through the 2019 bushfires, as well as droughts, they could see the benefit of having properties in two different climates.

Using regenerative farming methods, Graham Finlayson has been able to help his property survive multiple droughts. Together with his daughter Harriet Finlayson, who runs a chicken enterprise on the farm, they are focused on caring for the land and doing whatever they can to drought proof their business.

In season five of Propagate, we’re talking to young farmers who are throwing out the traditional farming blueprint and embracing new methods to run their businesses. We’re speaking with growers about what resiliency methods they’re using to make sure they’re prepared for whatever the future brings.
