For more than nine decades Smedley Station has been training up some of the finest young farmers in the country.
Kim Rorrison, a Smedley cadet in 2014-15, now manages Parks Peak, which was bought three years ago and shares a boundary with Smedley.
With just 13 trainees accepted each year, individuals are selected based on their passion and curiosity for understanding and learning farming skills and techniques.
