Rumours around the country over the last few years have been that there have been fewer and fewer Herd Owning (50/50) sharemilking positions available. And those that are advertised are swamped with applications! The rungs in that progression ladder seem to be getting further and further apart.
If this is the case how are young people ever supposed to get to the goal of farm ownership....is this now just a DREAM??!!
- If there are fewer sharemilking jobs around...why?
- Is it all just greed?.....and by whom.....the owners?....the current sharemilkers taking on multiple jobs....creaming the money?....or is it the price of land?
What happens if sharemilking dissapears? how will the industry survive? Do we even need it?
What do you think the issues are? Is this even a problem? If it is how do we fix it? How does a young farmer progress to farm ownership?
