] by Kent Caddick p37
The Ag Pathways programme aims to develop young farmers skills and contacts so they can advance their careers in the agricultural sector. The 2024 Ag Pathways was the seventh edition of the programme and more than 150
young farmers from across the Lower South Island have now attended Ag Pathways since the inaugural event in 2015. The latest South Island edition of Ag Pathways was held at the Croydon Lodge in Gore and was attended by young farmers, including several farming couples, working in the industry across a range of sectors and roles.
Rabobank Lower South Island Client Council Chair Craig Whiteside said the 2024 Ag Pathways programme cohort was one of the largest groups to date. “We had 29 attendees on the latest edition of the programme making it one of thebiggest groups we’ve ever had,” Whiteside said.
