Summary
To forge a career in the dairy farming industry.
I am 23 years old and originally trained as a chef, however after working a year on a dairy farm, I realized that farming is the career path I want to take. I'm a reliable, fit, and capable worker with a positive attitude and a willingness to go the extra mile. I work well under pressure and am a fast learner.
I would like to do AI as i think it will be a better work life balance for the kind of lifestyle i want. Also it will allow me to travel and see how other farms around our beautiful country operate.
