Hi

I was made redundant last christmas and after many cv's sent in for various jobs with not as much as a reply ive decided f**k them all im going to follow my own dream and do something im passionate about and start my own business so i am going to college next year to do a 3 year diploma in agribusiness and rural enterprise.I know it is going to be a long road but i have a young family to think about and i believe there is light at the end of the tunnel and iam going for it. During my studies i hope to start work on a business plan and i was wondering would like minded people have ideas or advice on sectors in the agri indusrty i should look into.
Thanks for reading.

well what sides of Ag interest you. Suppose you will need the diploma if you want to pre sue some job, but if your doing a diploma just to get knowledge for you'r own farming needs is it really worth it? If you can get a job working on a top farm in the area that most interest you it will be the quickest learning curve

If i were you the first thing i would look at is money. It is the best guarentee that you will be able to stay at it long term.

My personnel opinion is that most of the people who make money out of it are not the ones farming directly, rearing cattle etc. I think looking round that people who are either providing a service to farmers, contracting or are selling them machinery etc are the ones who make the most money out of farming.

Restive, I agree with some of what you are saying with regard to making sure that Bizzyb is able to finance the next three years and be able to complete the term. It would be a pity to have a year or two done and then unable to complete due to funds.

Bizzvb, I for one wish you well and hope you get there......

Restive - Regarding your comment that the only people making money out of farming are the guys providing services contractors, machinery dealers etc - thats just pure nonsense, and sounds like a typical comment from a person who has an attitude that the other side of the fence is greener.
General throw away comments like that don't make sense...........
