Two farmers talk about what keeps them in agriculture: family tradition, community ties, and the land itself. They discuss the challenges of farm life alongside the rewards, and how modern machinery fits into a way of living that spans generations.
I was born and raised on a farm. So was my mum and her mother before her. And I hope someday to leave it to my children. It's not the biggest of farms, but it is the life I'd love to.
Pass on to them. We feel deeply connected out here with the land, with one another.
We're part of a small community, one.
With the biggest of hearts, and we've made the most wonderful friendships. Through drought and bushfire, we've given both grazing, pasture and shelter to other farmers when they've lost their own.
And it has filled us in a way I never thought possible. I've seen how small kindnesses can change us.
Life, save a life.
It's not always easy. We've hand fed our cattle, fixed what's.
Broken, waited for rain.
We've loved every minute of it.
That's why we work in hectares, not hours.
We don't watch the clock. We savour the moments.
I've always believed you get out what you put in. It's as TR for people as it is the soil you farm or the harvest you grow.
We're using some of the most sophisticated.
Machines in the world to make the.
Most of the delicate connections between life and land. It's these connections that help us farm.
Smarter, grow together, and make tomorrow even greener. How kids are already dreaming of their own farming future.
They're saving money for their first heifer so they can start to build a herd.
That's what I like to call life goals.
I often tell my kids what my grandmother told me.
It takes a family to make a farm.
But it's a farm that can give that family a purpose. It's about nurturing life and growing food.
For our family and millions of others around the world.
So take a moment to thank the farmers. This is our home. This is our legacy.
