Bank Ready Scone
A great roll-up in Scone last year for our Bank Ready workshop. This crew of young farmers are all set to start achieving their goals!
Our Advisory Committee:
Hannah Cargill
Did you know we’ve got an Advisory Committee? With representatives from the Future Farmers Network, ASC of NSW Next Generation, NSW Farmers and the NSW Young Farmer Council, as well as four independent members, the committee is responsible for ensuring the Young Farmer Business Program remains relevant and on track with its delivery. We’re lucky to have some amazingly passionate people on the committee so we thought we’d introduce you to them. To kick us off, meet Hannah Cargill!

If we gave you $10 million tomorrow… what would you spend it on?
This is a tough one, I think I would invest in a small apartment building with a shop front to rent out to other businesses and tenants to live in. This would hopefully mean a greater return with a steady income to set up to purchase my own property.
