"I'd definitely recommend QRIDA. Especially for a first-generation farmer to get some land that you can sink your teeth into and get going initially with such a higher capital cost.” - Nathan Cleasby, crayfish producer

"If you want to get into farming and you're not really sure whether you're ready to go or not, early conversations with QRIDA's Regional Area Managers are going to be important to be able to give you a bit of guidance in terms of what your timeline is going to be and how far away that potential purchase of your first farm might be." - Dylan Wedel, canegrower

“I’m really fortunate to have had access to this First Start Loan because it wouldn’t have been possible otherwise." - Felix Ringleben, grain grower

“Any young ones looking to expand or get into the industry, just go and have a yarn to your local QRIDA representative. Bounce ideas off them and don’t be afraid to jump in, go hard while you’re young." - Sarah Packer, grazier
