Jess Howe was a farmer in her own right, before meeting her husband and becoming part of his family farming operation. In this chat she speaks openly about her job with Warrnambool Cheese and Butter, as a field officer, working through the transition to Saputo. And how quickly her career path quickly changed as children and in particular medically complex babies became the most important occupier of her time. As a side arm to the dairy, in the hope to find a solution to surplus bobby calves, they have created Brucknell Creek Produce, a Jersey Beef business. 

This is Jess’s story

About CREAM OF THE CROP 

The conference, in it's second year is an opportunity for women in the dairy industry to come together to learn, connect and reflect. Recognising the contribution, regardless of their role, they make to the industry and their wider community. 

The 2023 event will be on March 1st and 2nd, with the first day held in the Koroit Theatre, followed by an inclusive evening networking event in Warrnambool and a then half day tour in the surrounding region of South West Victoria. 

With a carefully considered 1.5 day program, attendees will have the opportunity to be challenged and inspired by speakers, panels, workshops, and farm and factory tours; as well as having the opportunity to network with like-minded people in the industry. The conference is open to farmers and service providers of all ages and stages, and the organisers encourage both group and individual registrations.
