Season 5, Episode 1
Supporting South Australia’s early to mid career farmers
Supporting South Australia’s early to mid career farmers takes you behind the scenes of farmer-led learning across the state.
In this episode, early to mid career farmer group facilitators Mel Fraser, Michael Brougham and Felicity Turner share insights from the farmer-led groups being delivered across South Australia through the SA Drought Hub and its partners.
While each group is led by a local project partner, facilitators play a key role in guiding discussions, supporting participants to shape the direction of their learning, and connecting with subject matter experts in the industry to further enhance training and networking opportunities. Together, this approach is creating space for peer-to-peer conversations that support practical decision-making, build confidence, and help farmers navigate seasonal challenges within a supportive network.
From planning for dry conditions to exploring new approaches in soil, livestock and farm business management, these groups are creating space for the next generation of farmers to connect, learn, and take action.
Are you an early to mid career farmer wanting to get involved? With seven groups across the state and more to come, you can learn more and reach out to your local group here.
