Partner testimonial | Rugby Employment

To whom it may concern,

On Wednesday 5th July we hosted the Australian Future Farmers Exchange Tour at Rugby Farm

where we showed the students through the Transport workshop, Pack houses and harvest activities in the field with broccoli being cut and transported from the field.

The students were also shown through some heavy machinery which included a brand new Volvo prime mover which is used to transport vegetables interstate and a large rubber tracked John Deere tractor used for heavy tillage work.

The line of questions from the students summed up their enthusiasm for the industry and their genuine commitment to work in the industry was obvious.

As a business in the Horticulture industry, especially in the current employment crisis, it is invaluable having young Australians visiting our workplace to seek potential employment outcomes. This cannot happen unless these programs are coordinated by people that understand the industry and can effectively communicate with stakeholders to make this all happier.

We fully support the Australian Future Farmers Exchange Tours Interstate program and look forward to the next visit.
