Name: Jordan Green
Age: 24
Location: Bean Creek, NSW
Course(s) Studied: Diploma of Agribusiness Management
Growing up on the family farm, riding horses, playing with dogs, and showing cows were my introductions to agriculture. I have always loved cows since I could remember and it gives me great pride being the 4th generation Brahman breeder of the family stud “Richmond Valley Brahman”. I am currently working on increasing my breeding herd of Grey and Red Brahman females through the use of AI and genetics as well as an F1 Breeding operation.
My introduction to RuralBiz Training was completing the Chemical Card Plus course. I very much enjoyed the teaching style, the trainers and the generous amount of support.
Prior to completing the Diploma of Agribusiness Management I knew I was lacking practical production and business skills. Completing this course enabled me to fill my knowledge gap. I learned how to manage my farm’s natural resources such as soil and water, and the most beneficial component of the course was learning to effectively manage the bookkeeping and business side of things.
Both my business and my family’s property were used as case studies. This enabled me to create and implement tailored solutions to my own operations while I was studying – a complete win-win! And the online teaching style was ideal for my work, study and lifestyle balance. I also very much enjoyed the teaching style, the trainers and the generous amount of support.
Whilst completing my studies I also work as an AI Technician and Harvest Casual which are often long days. But the support I have received during my studies from both my Guardian Angel and teaching staff as well as the general admin staff has made it ever enjoyable and doable. If I ever had any issues or questions they were always answered promptly.
I would recommend RuralBiz to everyone who is looking to get into the industry, upskill or learn new skills. The team is amazing, and the material is based in the real world which makes it even more practical to the day-to-day operations of a Farming Business.
