Welcome to the Forum and to the industry Sarah. Keep an open mind and remember that there are many different ways to do things, not just the one that you are taught. Farming is a process of constant learning from nature, or it should be if you do it right.Hi, I'm Sarah. I'm 18 and I've just started an apprenticeship on a dairy farm.
I'm not from a farming background so I'm fairly new to it. I'm hoping to learn as much as I can, so any advice is appreciated!

Thank you!
After I’ve completed my apprenticeship, I’m hoping to get some experience elsewhere to see how other farms work differently. I might even do a bit of work abroad.Hi Sarah

Sounds a good place to start
just make sure to research carefully on the places you want to go Yeah, there's quite a few in Britain now, if you are on FB you're most welcome to join my group, waterbuffalofarmer, for more information on them and there are buffalo breeders in the group, also. Quite a unique species

Will definitely look into it!
I’ve seen scholarships in New Zealand advertised on the YFC website and I thought that might be something I could do in the future. I have done some work experience in Canada but mainly with horses. I wouldn’t mind going back as I have farming relatives out there who might know someone.Cool! I’ll check it out.

Good evening everyone,
I’m Phil, farm manager on Kent/Surrey border, arable and grass (haylage for the horsey lot!) Currently on BASIS course, doing a project on the resistant ryegrass that we have on the farm (inherited!) I’ve done a questionnaire but thought FF would be a good place to get some more answers/opinions on it. If anyone could point me towards the nearest ryegrass thread I could hijack that would be excellent!
I do come on fairly regularly and read threads of interest but now I want something, thought it only fair to sign up and contribute too!

Welcome along. Probably enough of a topic to discuss there that you would be best to start your own thread in the cropping section.

Hi everyone, I m Jayn, originally from Africa living in Crawley West Sussex. I've never been in agricultural before but had the passion for gardening, grow my own vegetables every year ... recently I own 10 hectares (24.5 Acres) in Africa. I would like to start agricultural farming so I did some online training to have a go. but now, I'm looking at a farm where I can volunteer to learn more. I m looking where I can find an affordable tractor and attachments for export. and I need someone who has agricultural experiences and willing to invest in Africa and helping me to get into the business.

I don't often look in here, but @Loner aka @Fallowfield went to a lot of trouble on his introduction didn't he! Hiding in plain sight I guess!

Evening all. Thought I’d pop in and say hello. I’ve been on our small family farm (arable) for getting on for 25 years now and I’m starting to get a little ground down by the usual suspects (lack of succession planning, lack of input, long hours and associated deterioration in health...oh and money or lack of it ) so thought I’d have a poke around here and see if I can regain a little enthusiasm.
Looking forward to joining in. Feynman
