Did you enjoy listening to our young farmer focused episodes in the first season of the AgVic Talk podcast series? Then we have some good news for you, season two of ‘AgVic Talk’ is now live!
In our third young farmer focused episode of the series we hear from Sammy Mitchell and her mentor Andrew Bell. Sammy and Andrew have been participating in the 2021 Young Farmer and New Entrant Mentoring Program and they join us to share and reflect on their experiences, and the relationship they have been building as mentor and mentee.
They discuss how they have been working to increase Sammy’s confidence as she looks at employing her first staff member and Andrew reflects on why his 40-year working relationship with his employee has been so successful.
Expressions of interest are now open for the Young Farmer and New Entrant Mentoring Program 2022. The program provides an opportunity for young farmers to be paired with an experienced farmer to assist them with developing skills to better manage their farm businesses.
If you think you may be interested in applying for the 2022 program have a listen to Sammy and Andrew to hear firsthand how the experience has benefited them and visit the Agriculture Victoria website to apply.
