Courtney Wilson

President

Courtney farms with her husband Jack on his family’s mixed sheep and cropping farm at Cranbrook. They have two boys born in 2016 and 2020, who love farming! Courney has a passion for sheep more than cropping but does admit to looking forward to harvest each year.

While at uni undertaking a Batchelor of Business degree, Courtney developed a great interest in the event management industry and ended up majoring in that field. Moving back to the farm however, saw Courtney use her degree in the area that was in her original plan – accounting. She now works off farm, part-time, as an accountant. This has allowed Courtney to connect and support other women involved in agriculture – not only those on the farm but those involved in the many, varied aspects of agriculture.

For the last five years, Courtney has been involved in the Cranbrook branch and is currently in her second year as president. She was the event convenor when the branch hosted the 2022 Women in Farming Annual Seminar.

When not busy working, farming or occupied with her kids, Courtney can often be found on the road, driving around the countryside to get to various towns to umpire on netball courts across the Great Southern.
