𝗕𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗗𝗼𝘄𝗻 𝗕𝗮𝗿𝗿𝗶𝗲𝗿𝘀 𝘁𝗼 𝗙𝗮𝗿𝗺 𝗢𝘄𝗻𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗵𝗶𝗽 𝗶𝗻 𝗔𝗼𝘁𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗼𝗮 Farm ownership is no longer a straightforward goal, with rising land prices and limited equity pathways making it harder for aspiring farmers to achieve their dreams. In the latest Dairy Exporter podcast, Pāmu CEO, Mark Leslie, shares how our innovative pathways program is creating real opportunities for farmers. By introducing hybrid operating models, sharemilking options, and progression pathways across four of our dairy farms, we’re helping the next generation build the capital and experience they need to succeed. Key highlights from the podcast: ● Hybrid operating models that bridge the gap between contract milking and full ownership. ● A focus on building equity opportunities for farmers while maintaining high standards of animal welfare and environmental care. ● Plans to expand these initiatives as we refine and grow the program. Mark also highlights the role of Pāmu in driving industry-wide progression and succession while ensuring strong financial and operational performance. 🎙️ Listen to the full conversation here: https://ow.ly/73TQ50UauRC
