NINE aspiring young farmers from Queensland and Victoria made the North East their home last week while participating in the Australian Future Farmers exchange program.
Program participants spent their days in the Ovens and King valleys immersed in a variety of industries, including viticulture, intensive beef production, boutique farming enterprises and the strong links to tourism in the area.
Amanda Naish from the Australian Future Farmers exchange program said participants had thoroughly enjoyed their visit.
Brooklyn Friels, who travelled from Queensland for the program, said it was an opportunity to learn about diverse farming and agricultural practices to help plan for a future career.
Jethro Novak from Myrtleford said he signed up for the program because he loves farming.
