Jane Kowald

Kojonup

Secretary

Jane and her husband Anthony run a mixed cropping and sheep enterprise north-east of Kojonup.  They have three children, one away at boarding school and two attending local government schools in Katanning.  Jane studied Applied Geology at Curtin University and has worked in various roles in state and local government agencies with duties ranging from hydrologist to local landcare officer before recently returning to the farm full time.  

Jane volunteers for many community groups including landcare, sporting and scout groups.  Jane’s responsibilities on the farm include book keeping, HR management, sheep work and general farm duties.  Off-farm interests include playing tennis, fishing, reading, sewing and crochet.  Jane looks to Women in Farming as the platform to share information to keep up to date with advances in farming, networking opportunities and professional development.
