Lincoln diploma study helps in competition and career

While studying for his Diploma in Farm Management, a qualification that he says directly aided his run for the title, the former Lincoln University Young Farmers member was awarded a Lone Star Farms scholarship.

The scholarship offers an opportunity to work for Lone Star Farms and also provides financial assistance. 

Since completing the diploma, Tom has spent the past two years working as a block manager, running 33,000 stock units on Caberfeidh Station, a 6000-hectare farm in Waimate's Hakataramea Valley.
