About DLH Farms
The challenge to prove my doubters wrong, along with the strong desire to own cattle fueled the image I now have for my future operation. After attending Olds College I have also gained knowledge as to which ag. technologies I wish to incorporate to ensure appropriate sustainable practices are utilized in order to maintain herd and soil health.
Bio
I am Dakota Harper. I am a young woman pursuing a career in agriculture. Growing up my family always had a farm in the family until I was a teenager, then I would help out of friends operations as a way to escape from school or my real job. My passion for farming has been strong from a young age, however after some unforeseen circumstances within my personal life, the idea of weekend hobby farm became a career path I'd previously yet to consider.
Coming from a large family, having relatives who can aid in the planning process based upon their experiences. I also benefit from having a identical a twin sister who has a duel ticket in agricultural and heavy duty mechanics.
I am very hardworking and take pride in the work I do. I'm always eager to learn new things. I strive to achieve a higher understanding within my communication, adaptability skills, and commercial awareness, that I can put towards a future career in the farming industry.
