In this episode I’m joined by Kelly Skewes, Industry Liaison Officer at Boonah State High School where we dive into the AG Futures program and how it’s giving young people real pathways into agriculture — not just through textbooks, but through hands-on experience, industry connections, and a whole lot of heart.

From their “Coffee N Cows” mornings to powerful student success stories, this episode is all about what happens when education meets opportunity in rural Australia.

What really stood out to me was not every student comes from a farming background… but many leave with a future in agriculture.

If you’ve ever wondered what the next generation of farmers, producers and ag leaders looks like — this episode is for you!
