CareersGert Kerkhofs – Team Leader Dairy Specialists Flanders (Belgium)
Although he did not grow up on a farm, Gert Kerkhofs developed a passion for the sector at an early age. “During my holidays I worked on a farm, and that really sparked my enthusiasm,” he says. After attending agricultural school in Bocholt, he moved to Geel to obtain his bachelor’s degree in dairy farming. He then started working on a dairy farm to gain practical experience. “After several years in the barn, I moved into advisory work and eventually joined De Heus. I’m now team leader for the dairy team in Flanders.”
