Hear what some of GO.FARM’s graduates have to say about their time in the program

“I have completed my first month on farm and have already gained exposure to all aspects of the business. I am excited to continue learning valuable knowledge before my move into the financial and investment side of the company.”

Growing up on New Zealand’s South Island and after Studying a Bachelor of Commerce specialising in agriculture at Lincoln University in NZ, Ethan has made the move across to Australia for the GO.FARM Agribusiness Graduate Program. He is currently completing his Farm rotation at Petro Station, a large-scale broad acre cropping farm north of Mildura.

I am placed on Sandmount Farms for the duration of the graduate program and have found the farming team’s welcoming demeanour to be instrumental in easing my transition to Australia.”

After completing a Bachelor of Science majoring in Agriculture from Lincon University in New Zealand, Olivia has started the Farmland Graduate program with GO.FARM. and is located at one of GO.FARM’s largest farms in Northern Victoria.

Former Graduates

Joe Barlow

Graduate 2019

“The graduate program immerses you in the business and means that you have the opportunity to understand the business from top to bottom from very early on in your career.”

Growing up on a family-run farm and grain business, Joe Barlow has an extensive history and a deep understating of agriculture in rural Australia.

Joe’s ability to immerse himself in the company has been fundamental in his successful career progression, from his time as a graduate to his position as Head of Farmland Development where his love for agriculture has only grown.

Anna Keenan

Graduate 2021

“Through the program, I’ve had exposure to all aspects of the business and now I’m honing in on the investor relations side.”

Communications Manager, Anna Keenan joined GO.FARM as an intern in 2021 and has developed the skills and knowledge to assist in managing GO.FARM’s investors.

While Anna grew up in Melbourne, visits to her grandparents’ farm in Yarrawonga planted a seed for a career in agriculture. Having studied Agricultural Science at The University of Melbourne and majored in economics, Anna has taken that knowledge and brought it to life in ways she wouldn’t have thought possible.

Joe Gibson

Graduate 2022

“I have completed six months on farm and am now in the middle of my stint in the office doing financial research and accounting. It’s been a wonderful learning experience.”

Growing up on a sheep and cropping farm in Western Victoria’s Tatyoon, Joe Gibson knew he always wanted to give back to the broader agricultural industry. For Joe, undertaking a graduate role with GO.FARM Australia was the perfect opportunity to do just that.

Ultimately, Joe wants to forge a career where he can maximise farm productivity, improving farm operations across Australian agriculture.

After the Graduate Program, Joe spent time as an Investment and Research Analyst, and is now the Cropping Manager for Goulburn Valley.

Rachel Hosking

“The Graduate program provided me with exposure to various teams at GO.FARM, where I learnt about the business and the broader agricultural industry.”

Rachel grew up in Melbourne and, despite having no prior farming experience before joining GO.FARM, developed an interest in the industry while completing a Bachelor of Agriculture with a major in Economics at the University of Melbourne.

During the Graduate program, Rachel completed a rotation at Petro Station, followed by rotations through various teams at the Melbourne Farm Hub.
