Mr McDonald said he had three or four phone calls about the dairy farmhand position.
“I am still working through them, but I think it will be positive,” he said.
He is offering a job with a three-bedroom home available rent-free to a suitable candidate.
Meanwhile, WestVic Dairy has announced a new project called Stepping Stones in Dairy to be launched on September 18 at the Farmer Forum day.
It is a resource developed by the Workforce Planning and Action project and provides a guide to career progressions and pathways in the dairy industry.
Also in the pipeline is a job section on WestVic Dairy’s website, which will allow farmers and farm workers to advertise jobs and skills.
The Farmer Forum day is at the Camperdown Golf Club, from 10.30am.
