What have you been doing to get farm ready?

I have been trying to Buy one in the northern rivers, but havent been able to get the money together for the investment I need to make for a working operation here.

Why are you passionate about farming?

I cant get it out of my system. Living and working in town is not me!

Best days of being a farmer:

I would love a farm close to the northern Rivers ( where I live now, the kids go to school and My partner works). I have a passion for livestock, we had Sheep, Cattle and Broadacre farming on our farm and I loved the stock work. I also liked growing wheat ,Barley etc but not as much ( I liked to watch the cattle eat it more haha ). There is alot of things that make me happy but some of the best days are when you breed a good animal and they have top quality progeny.
