Young dairy leaders are encouraged to apply for a tour across New Zealand’s Dairy industry.

The Gardiner Foundation will host the tour through the South Island giving farmers the chance to explore and develop their leadership skills.

12 dairy farmers aged 18 to 40 will be chosen to take part in the experience, running for eight days from mid to late April.

Rural reporter Georgia Kondek spoke with the Chief Executive Allan Cameron about how this will be a incredible experience for those in the industry.
