Name: Alex Baldry
Age: 30
Location: Walcha, NSW
Course(s) Studied: Diploma of Agriculture
After a 7-year career in the Army, I started my Diploma of Agriculture while working on a large sheep and cattle operation in Walcha, NSW.
With a limited background in agriculture, I chose the Diploma to learn fundamental business and livestock production theory with a goal to progress into a farm management or advisory role.
The flexible, online method of learning suited my busy workload and greatly complimented my on-farm experience. Each unit assignment produced a highly useful business or production related plan that I tailored to my current employment and other agricultural interests and aspirations.
For those who are keen for formal study but are busy and want to stay on the land, I highly recommend the Diploma of Agriculture by RuralBiz Training.
