About

In this episode, we sit down with Sean Alexander, a Northland-raised dairy enthusiast, AgFirst farm consultant, and active member of Holstein Friesian NZ. Sean shares his journey from growing up on a farm and showing cows, to studying agribusiness and now supporting farmers through consulting.

We explore the value of community in agriculture, the transition from hands-on farming to strategic advisory roles, and the challenges facing today’s dairy sector. Sean also reflects on youth development, technology, and the importance of building strong relationships across the industry.

Whether you're a farmer, breeder, or passionate about the future of dairy, this episode offers insight into the evolving pathways for young people in agriculture, and the impact they’re already making.
