Spotlight - 2017 Dairy Conference

Make everyday like a Sunday

Matthew Jackson a speaker at the 2017 Positive Farmers Conference tells his story of how with no land or

money he became a successful dairy farmer.

Matthew Jackson grew up in Manchester city centre, with no background or links to farming. Despite this, he now owns 400 cows, and he is only 28 years old. What is even more remarkable is that he left school at 15, with no money to his name.

systems

He is engaged to Mari and they have three young children. “I’m now generating surplus stock and wondering what to do with them. We are setting goals and looking for new opportunities. I want to run simple, replicable and resilient systems and give other young people the same opportunities I got.”(IFJ)
