So grateful for the $20 000 Elders Community Giving Grant which brings a level of technology to our school farm helping to better prepare our students to learn about and have the skills for contemporary farming. Well done to Ms Kylie Rattray for a successful application. We are excited to see the eShepherd collars in action on our school farm.

🐂 Backing the next generation of agriculture in Scottsdale

Scottsdale High School has received $20,000 through the Elders Rural Services Community Giving Project for its Stronach View Farm: Next-Gen Beef Management project.

The funding will support the introduction of Gallagher Animal Management eShepherd collars at the school farm, giving students hands-on experience with virtual fencing and modern livestock management technology.

Elders Scottsdale Branch Manager Ashlee Kerrison said the project was a great opportunity to support local students and agricultural education.
“We’re excited to see Scottsdale High School receive funding through the Elders Community Giving Project and the positive impact it will have for local students. The hands-on experience students gain through this project will put them in a great position if they choose to pursue a career in agriculture and help prepare them for the evolving ways we farm today.”

For Scottsdale High School Agriculture teacher Kylie Rattray, the project is also about strengthening the school’s connection with the local agricultural community.

Building connections with local businesses like Elders is really important for our students and our school. This project is also about shifting our school farm into the future and exposing students to real-life technology that is becoming increasingly used on farms. Giving our students the opportunity to work with this technology will help them become more technologically capable and better prepared for the future of agriculture.”

Elders Livestock Production Advisor Nathan Saunders will work with the school and students to help install and implement the Gallagher eShepherd system at Stronach View Farm.

Congratulations to Kylie, the students and everyone involved. We’re looking forward to seeing eShepherd operating at the school farm and the students putting the technology into practice.
