Natasha Lobban

Natasha Lobban is passionate about writing for and about farmers, with a particular love for telling the stories of the people who make rural communities tick and shining a light on the issues that affect them. She has worked in agricultural media and communications for more than 20 years and is now Content Manager at AuctionsPlus. Her special interest in agriculture, food and rural Australia stems from being a sixth-generation farmer with a deep respect and love for farming communities. Natasha and her husband run a mixed farming operation at Eldorado in North East Victoria, which keeps her closely connected to the issues facing farmers every day.
