REALITY 2 - PARTNER AND FAMILY

A DAIRY FARMING CAREER ... will also impact on your family.

Without their support it is very difficult to take on any new job.  It will almost certainly mean moving to a new location and different home.  If you have children they may need to settle into a new school and get used to the different lifestyle that farming offers.  Make sure your family is fully informed and involved in the decision-making process.

THINGS TO CONSIDER:

• Location of the job, so that it is close to schools etc
• The impact moving to a more remote area might have on your family’s social life
• If your wife or partner works, consider the impact this will have on their career and lifestyle.
