Farming trio in training: A young trio are furthering their farm training with online and in-person courses.

A young farming trio in New Zealand is furthering their farm training through a combination of online and in-person courses. Stephen and Sophie Smyllie, along with Sophie's stepbrother Gary, have all studied Primary ITO courses to enhance their knowledge and skills in the industry. Stephen, who has won several awards, has completed a Diploma in Agriculture and a Diploma in Farm Management, while Sophie is studying online to gain her Level 3 Training Dairy Apprenticeship. Gary prefers in-person classes and is also studying Level 3 Dairy courses. The training is flexible and allows the trio to apply their learning directly to their contract milking business.
