Trading the office for the farm
Primary ITO’s Dani Low says over the past year, career changers including bankers, accountants and chefs have joined school leavers and young people looking to make a start in Southland’s dairy industry in the wake of the economic reshuffle from Covid-19.
The Government is covering training fees until 31 December 2022 so there’s never been a better time to invest in yourself and your people.

🚒 Our Fire and Emergency crews have been kept busy lately
And they’re once again reminding everyone: please don’t light fires when it’s windy.
Central Otago will move into a restricted fire season from 1 December 2025, which means anyone planning an outdoor fire will need to apply for a permit and plan ahead.
So we’d love to ask you — how do you make sure you’re being fire-safe at this time of year?
