Adele O'Connor
I am a fourth generation farmer on our family property near Springsure. We run a mixed enterprise comprising of beef cattle and cropping; with a passion for producing food from a healthy environment and maintaining environmental health so that there is a future for the next generation to continue on. Not only do I participate in every aspect of the business, I sit on the Central Highland Regional Resource Use Plan (CHRRUP) board and the newly formed Emerald Agriculture College (EAC) board and I also play and
active role in the local show having being the vice president until my husband took on the president’s role.
I encourage my children to enjoy and be involved in all the activities on the farm; however the ones involving baby animals seem to be the most popular at present. Not only am I a woman in agriculture who enjoys the work and am passionate about my industry I also enjoy doing what a lot of other females do as well, like sewing, cooking, photography, scrapbooking and gardening.
