Friday, May 30 marked the 10-year anniversary of Food and Fibre Careers Day, where students from all over the region could learn about careers in agriculture, horticulture, agtech, agribusiness and more.

The News reporter Pip Turton was on the scene in Dookie, chatting with students about their highlight of the day.

Amelia Reid — Greater Shepparton Secondary College student

This workshop (PawPrints) has been my favourite workshop so far, learning to do a Roberts Jones dressing has been interesting.

I’m not entirely sure if I want to be a vet.

Yeah, this one (PawPrints) has been really fun, we have decided to name our puppy Oscar.
