Would you take on an Ag Trade Apprentice? ๐Ÿง‘โ€๐ŸŒพ

The National Farmers' Federation, along with other industry stakeholders, are looking at the feasibility of an Ag Trade Apprenticeship.

They believe an Ag Trade Apprenticeship could be an attractive pathway for new entrants, increase the professionalism in the industry, improve safety performance, and help to alleviate current and future skill shortages.

Take 5 minutes to share your feedback and help to shape the future of your industry.

A sincere thank you to Will, Millie, and Eddie for generously hosting the event, and to Greg and his team at Elders for preparing a magnificent BBQ for attendees.

Who knew there was an international day of potato?!

In times of drought, flood, or fire, that's when Tasmanians come together ๐Ÿ”ฅ

We've seen neighbours help to clean up someone's yard. Farmers sharing hay with others when it's needed. If you need a hand in rural Tasmania, you know there's someone you can rely on ๐Ÿค

Volunteering helps to shape communities. We've seen it firsthand.

So this National Volunteers Week, we say a BIG thank you to all of our volunteers. And if you have time to give back to your community, we encourage you to put your hand up too ๐Ÿ™‹
