YFBP spokesperson Alexandra Hicks said the program had been "life-changing" for participants last year. The individualised program gives participants the chance to learn from an accredited business coach who provides 12 months of one-on-one business support.
Participants receive weekly calls and attend five face-to-face meetings with business coach Chris Morrison, sharing monthly video blogs via the YFBP's social media channels to facilitate peer to peer learning opportunities.
Young farmers Jarrod and Emma Amery credit their experience in last year's program with changing their business.
"Business coaching has really made our business into the future a lot more profitable, and it's given us a lot more direction," Mr Amery said.
Anyone aged between 18 and 35 operating a farm, commercial fishery or aquaculture business which identifies with primary production and growing or producing food and fibre can apply via http://bit.ly/IndividualCoaching2019 until September 8. Email for details: young.farmer@dpi.nsw.gov.au
