Victorian farmers will hear stories from fellow producers across the state, along with agricultural advice and information after the launch of a new podcast from the Victorian government.
Agriculture Minister Jaclyn Symes launched the Ag Vic Talk podcast, a pilot series that will cover problems and solutions for managing bushfire recovery, drought and dry seasonal conditions, weather and climate, as well inspiring stories from young farmers.
The series will include Agriculture Victoria industry development officers providing useful advice to farmers on topics such as pasture recovery after fire, and how farmers can support their neighbours during challenging times.
"Farmers are best placed to chat to other farmers - they know the specific challenges and rewards that face them each day," Ms Symes said.
"This series will deliver thoughtful discussions and knowledge for everyone to benefit from."
In addition, the series will profile dairy farmers adpating their properties in different climates and how to use technology to manage seasonal risk.
Two episodes will profile Upskill and Invest Young Farmer Scholarship recipients Sarah McLean and Clay Gowers.
Ms McLean shares her story of how she turned her dream of running a farm into reality, while Mr Gowers discusses how he has used aerial drone mapping on his family farm.
The series is designed to address priority topics that assist farmers to grow profitable and sustainable farm businesses.
Ag Vic Talk will be available on multiple podcasts platforms, and at agriculture.vic.gov.au/AgVicTalk.
