April Schroder

April has had farming and agriculture in her blood since childhood. She has been a self-employed dairy farmer for over 10 years, with extensive experience in sheep and beef farming as well. April breeds pedigree Holstein Friesian cows with her family, and they have competed with them around New Zealand.

After selling their dairy farm, April worked as a soil tester for Ravensdown before taking on a sales role last year with Seeds and Cereals.

In addition to her many years of farming experience, April has been riding horses since she could walk. She has competed up to 2-star eventing in her teens, and then transitioned to western riding and trekking the countryside. April also has a miniature horse show team. She has a great passion for seeing happy, healthy, and well-fed animals living their best lives.
