Lincoln University has been involved with this leaders programme since 1979 when it was launched with a grant from the Kellogg Foundation, USA.The purpose of this report was to look at opportunities for young managers within the dry stock industry and to determine in my opinion whether there is a clear career path or not. And if there is a path, what does the young manager and the industry as a whole, have to do to ensure the path is visible? To me the future of the dry stock industry (like any industry) is reliant upon attracting and retaining energetic, enthusiastic, passionate and skilled young people.enCopyright © The Author.farm ownershipmanagercareer pathdry stock industryOtherANZSRC::0701 Agriculture, Land and Farm Management
