Caitlin Radford (I: @caitlin_radford) is a fifth generation Farmer from Moriarty on the North West Coast of Tasmania and the first female farmer in her family. In 2020 she was named the Australian Apprentice of the Year across all industries after completing her Cert III in Agriculture as an apprentice on farm with her father Shane. After starting CO Agriculture Pty Ltd with her partner Owen she now share-farms with her grandfather Reuben and is looking forward to one day running her own farm and heading into renting the farm soon.

Since the award Caitlin has had the opportunity to promote Agriculture to many groups including Rotary Clubs, high schools, TasTafe students and the like. She enjoys giving back to her community by being involved with these roles and is driven to be a role model for other young women and young people in Agriculture.
