The August/September issue of Graziher is packed with inspiring stories about women on the land. From an expert on cattle genetics to the South Australian mum creating beauty products on the farm, they are all great examples of rural women leading the way. We ask daughters about their dads for Father’s Day while Buy From The Bush’s Grace Brennan writes about her dad. PLUS delicious recipes from the Shady Baker’s olive grove and how to renovate the farm shed. And don’t miss our fantastic subscription prize of a YETI jug worth $150.
