Dairy farming in the Saudi Arabian desert is a far cryfrom the lush, green pastures of New Zealand. Mr Buckley (35) was brought up in North Canterbury, where his father Russ was a ‘‘part-time’’ deer farmer. After leaving secondary school, Mr Buckley went to Lincoln University and completed a bachelor of agricultural science degree, with honours, majoring in plantscience. Clayton Buckley has spent the past 12 years working on a dairy farm in Saudi Arabia. There were difficulties recruiting local staff as they did not like dairy cows.
