Name: Daniella Yates
Course(s) Studied: Diploma of Agribusiness Management
Originally from Kimba in South Australia, Daniella grew up on a family farm growing cereals, legumes and running sheep. In 2024, Daniella was lucky enough to participate in the AgCareerStart program, where she gained experience in dryland farming – producing grain and cotton in Mungindi, NSW – and had the opportunity to attend conferences and training to network and form connections with like-minded people.
Following her gap year with AgCareerStart, Daniella has worked in various areas of agriculture in QLD, NSW and abroad in Canada.
Daniella’s long-term goal is to return to manage the family farm in South Australia. “Completing the Diploma of Agribusiness Management has given me a strong understanding of business management and effective agricultural practices. I thoroughly enjoyed my time with RuralBiz Training. The flexible hours worked perfectly alongside my work commitments and the team provided a very professional level of support.”
