We saddle up with two dynamic women rewriting the rulebook on what it means to work in ag.

Meet Edwina Doery and Ruby Buchanan, the powerhouse duo behind Uwannagoforabeer Contracting—a name that’s as cheeky as it is unforgettable. In their 20s, these two mates launched their own contracting business, armed with motorbikes, working dogs, and grit.

But don’t be fooled by the dust and denim—behind the handlebars are a qualified nurse and a law graduate who have built a life that balances study, work, and a love for the land.

In this episode, we chat about:

How Uwannagoforabeer started
What it’s like building a business in ag as two young women
Juggling career paths with country life
Why passion and hard work are the ultimate tools for success

These women prove that you can chase cows and chase dreams—at the same time.
