Dairy in New Zealand and Young Farmer of the Year - with George Dodson

Today we’re in New Zealand meeting self styled Canterbury Cowboy George Dodson who in 2024 was crowned FMG Young Farmer of the Year, which for anyone who doesn’t know, is an extremely prestigious competition. He’s the Founder of the Canterbury Young Dairy Farmers Leaders Network and to give you an idea of his passion and drive for the dairy sector he was already managing a farm by the age of 20.  We hear about his farming journey, dairy farming in New Zealand in general and his hopes for the future.  With thanks to our sponsor TELUS Agriculture & Consumer Goods.
