Why use a consultant? - As agriculture and sheep production becomes more complex and competitive, it is hard to keep up with the changes.
The Sheep CRC believes that consultants are very beneficial to their producer clients, and that is why we have a consortium of sheep industry consultants working as part of the Sheep CRC.
Not only that, but the Sheep CRC has developed a new course called the Graduate Certificate in Agriculture (Agricultural Consulting), which is offered through the University of New England by distance education.
One of the latest jobs of our Consulting Consortium has been to review the teaching materials that are now being updated as a result of this review.
There are over 20 students enrolled this semester studying the agricultural consulting units.
We recommend the services of the consultants in our Consortium:
