“There were crossings washed out, there was topsoil pushed off paddocks, there was trash over the top of cane. It was just a disaster; you didn’t even know where to start. That grant got us through to keep going." - Mathew Di Mauro, cane and watermelon grower

"I'd definitely recommend QRIDA. Especially for a first-generation farmer to get some land that you can sink your teeth into and get going initially with such a higher capital cost.” - Nathan Cleasby, crayfish producer

"If you want to get into farming and you're not really sure whether you're ready to go or not, early conversations with QRIDA's Regional Area Managers are going to be important to be able to give you a bit of guidance in terms of what your timeline is going to be and how far away that potential purchase of your first farm might be." - Dylan Wedel, canegrower

“Any young ones looking to expand or get into the industry, just go and have a yarn to your local QRIDA representative. Bounce ideas off them and don’t be afraid to jump in, go hard while you’re young." - Sarah Packer, grazier
