Humans of Agriculture

When Amanda Moohen landed her first job in the beef industry, she was one of only five women working alongside 100 men, now, she’s pulling more women into the male-dominated sector by simply sitting down and having a drink with them.
From an Albies college girl walking to morning classes in her pyjamas, to being scouted by the Australian Agricultural Company (AACo) for a new managerial role, Amanda Moohen’s career is an impressive one.
Growing up on a beef grazing property on Queensland’s Darling Downs, cattle have always been of interest for Amanda.
But it wasn’t until studying Ag Science at university that she recognised that a career in agriculture can be quite difficult to get into, especially as a woman.
Amanda is one of the Antola Trading Shirt Ambassadors, celebrating incredible people from right across Australia who are having an impact within their industry or community. To check out the whole range go to www.antolatrading.com

This episode is brought to you by Atlas Grazing.

If you run livestock, you know the results come from countless small decisions made
in the paddock. Season after season. Experience and instinct guide those calls, and
nothing replaces that.

There's a new tool called Atlas Grazing worth taking a look at. Developed from more
than a decade of working alongside graziers and supporting real farm businesses, it
brings your livestock records, paddocks and rainfall together in one place.
The right tools don't replace what you already know. They give you the clarity to act
sooner, with more confidence. See what's happening across your operation at a
glance, adapt as conditions change, and keep work moving wherever the day takes
you.
