If you think agriculture is all paddocks and paperwork, think again. For Chloe Taylor, being a Livestock Trainee with Elders Rural Services means every day brings something new. Whether she’s busy collaborating with farmers, helping manage cattle sales, or supporting the production of high-quality food, she’s loving every second of it.
Based in Mackay, Chloe has taken her love for ag and turned it into a thriving career. With a background that includes ag-focused high school, a Bachelor of Agricultural Science, and hands-on experience in processing and meat science, Chloe’s path has been anything but boring. She’s used every opportunity to build her knowledge, and now that she’s working with Elders, it has all paid off!
While agriculture hasn’t always been the most balanced field in terms of gender, Chloe’s experience tells a different story. She’s been welcomed, encouraged, and supported from the get-go, and she’s quick to recommend the industry to any young women looking for a meaningful career path.
So, if you’re considering a career in ag but aren’t sure where to start, Chloe’s story is proof that with the right mindset (and the right employer), there’s a spot for you.
