Show Notes
Katja Williams is a Farmer at Polldale, a shorthorn cattle stud north of Dubbo, alongside her husband, Ned. In addition to working on the stud, Katja also runs around as a mother, podcaster, and rural women’s advocate online as The Ultimate Farm Wife.
In this episode, Katja discusses the challenges of joining a farming family, even if you’re from a farming background yourself. She shares her experiences with assumed knowledge, balancing work and motherhood, and figuring out how to find a place in someone else’s family in someone else’s business.
Local Land Services Cropping Officer, Tim Bartimote, sat down with Katja at her busy kitchen table for this fascinating chat.
