IT’S now two years since Terry and Shannon Blasche swapped the warmth of northern NSW for the, let’s say, seasonal conditions of south-west Victoria. During that short time a lot has changed on the farm they now call home at Jancourt East.

For the past 16 months the Blasches have been part of the WestVic Dairy Focus Farm project. In late September, as part of that project, they opened their farm for the second time, welcoming around 60 local farmers and industry representatives to get an insight into their business.
