Does the Farm Always Have to Come First?- Claire Booth & Chloe Brown

from Ducks on the Pond · host Kirsten Diprose and Jackie Elliott

**EPISODE SPONSORED BY JOY JOHNS WINES**Does the farm always HAVE to come first?  We meet two very successful women in agriculture who are challenging this traditional concept of 'the farm comes first'. To do this, they have both come up with unique business models.Instead of shaping their lives around the farm; they're shaping the farm around their family and other career and business goals.Hear from:Chloe Brown -   a dairy farmer in south west Victoria, who has pushed back on the 'get big or get out' mentality of modern dairying to build a business with her husband, that works for their young family. Chloe is also reshaping perceptions of the industry through her podcast, More Than Milk. Claire Booth - while Claire doesn’t like to call herself a farmer, she plays an integral role in her family’s farming business Booth Ag, which is based in Geurie in central west NSW.  She also runs her own law firm in Dubbo.Both Claire and Chloe discuss how they've managed to define their business roles and manage this alongside with their roles as 'wife' and 'mother'. They talk about how they gained confidence and learnt about the business of farming too, as first time farmers.Thank you to our Episode Sponsor, Joy Johns Wines** Would you like to sponsor an episode?
