'Absolutely love it': meet the young woman set to take the agency game by storm

By Barry Murphy

Barry Murphy here from farming and rural affairs newspaper Stock & Land.  We've done a really nice interview and feature with one of your former students, Ella Hayes, who finished Year 12 last year.

Ella is working full-time as a livestock agent with Nutrien Seymour and is paving an exciting career for herself in a cattle industry typically dominated by men.

She is very articulate and passionate about the agriculture industry and how women can do just as well as any man. 

A flavour of some of her quotes:

"Not many people really understand what I do, and it's hard to explain to them, especially because a lot of my friends are not from farming backgrounds." "I really would love to see more young women get into it." "It's good to just have a crack, get out there, and you never know until you try."
