Educating the Next Generation of Farmers
The future of Australian agriculture depends on the next generation. The more we can teach the next generation about where food comes from, how it is raised using sustainable practices, the better producers they will become. As the population grows, so does the need to produce sufficient food to feed everyone. We need to educate young people with the skills and knowledge to make sound and informative decisions.
Top Country is a stock feed company that has established itself as a livestock nutrition and feeding system leader. Through our vision and innovation, Top Country will continue to drive the industry into the future. It is vital to inspire, train and maintain a strong interest in agriculture in the younger generation of Australian Farmers. Top Country has been providing high-quality supplements and feeding systems to Australian farmers for close to 30 years now. We have offered the ultimate solutions for our farmers to increase their productivity and profitability with science-backed nutrition and feeding systems.
We offer a different kind of educational presentation for kids and young adults up to 20 years olds that would like to learn about the Production Animal Industry in Australia. We believe that teaching children about agriculture helps them understand that food doesn’t magically appear on the grocery store shelves and that our farms should be protected and have the support they need. Teaching children about agriculture can also strengthen their overall development and, ultimately, our communities.
Top Country has been blessed to be able to be part of Australian Agriculture and has learnt so much during these years. We encourage all stock feeds companies to connect with teachers and students to see how they are preparing students today with the real-world needs of tomorrow. We need to be part of a team to build interest and excitement for agriculture in Australia and beyond. Programs like this help young people understand how food is grown and how farmers take care of the animal and the land and still provide healthy food to feed Australia.
