In 2020, Harry Lloyd was a little lost. He had just finished University and couldn't chase his dream of being a cowboy in America due to the COVID-19 pandemic. At the same time, we'djust started the Humans of Agriculture Podcast and Harry was recommended to listen, which turned out to be a pretty pivotal moment for him.  "The one thing I took away from the podcast is to say yes. Plan A's not going to happen anytime soon, so I'll just start saying yes to opportunities and see where it leads me." Harry grew up in Kyabram, Victoria, where he calls the safest place on the planet. He loved his upbringing on his family's dairy farm and now calls Kyabram home again, farming in partnership with his brother.  Tragically, Harry's life was turned on it's head at the age of 18 when his Dad suddenly passed away. The community rallied around his family and helped them milk cows as they navigated what happened to the farm and their cattle.  At the time, he didn't himself in farming and instead was going into Sports Management at University. But soon into his course, he was missing the farm and found himself more interested in his mates Agribusiness course. So he made the switch. He found his niche passion in regenerative agriculture and how to look after animals, paddocks and the planet more broadly.  "I was conscious about the idea of farming in a way that not only is sustainable, but also benefits the environment and improves it for those future generations." Harry wants to do things differently, while being mindful that you can't be sustainable if you're not profitable and you can't throw away everything that we've learned over the years.  "The opportunity to trial so many different things is why I like agriculture. Especially dairy, because you can do something and you'll see the results the very next day."  This episode is delivered in a Paid partnership with Dairy Australia, if you're interested in a Career in Dairy - head to Dairy Jobs Matter 00:00 Introduction and Impact of Humans of Agriculture Podcast 04:20 Growing Up in Kyabram and Community Involvement 08:14 Family Farm and Dealing with Tragedy 09:39 Career Path and Interest in Regenerative Agriculture 14:24 Learning and Working on Different Farms 29:30 Opportunities in Dairy Farming for Young People 33:47 Find your Career in Dairy at Dairyjobsmatter.com.au
