Rob and Jess have been working as farm assistants for Bob for the past 3 years.
Bob is wanting to take a step back from the day-to-day running of the farm and has proposed that Rob and Jess take a big step up and share milk his farm.
This is a dream come true for Rob and Jess but it is also a bit overwhelming – there is so much to think about and organise.
They need to sign a sharemilking contract, buy cows and machinery and hire staff, as well as find a way to pay for everything!
It is all very new to Rob and Jess and they want to make sure that they are setting themselves up properly.
Rob and Jess meet with their lawyer who advised them on the sharemilking contract, drafted a stock purchase agreement and an employment agreement and assisted them with completing their financing with the bank.
This has made Rob and Jess feel much more relaxed and they can get on with their favourite part – farming!
