A GLADFIELD teenager has spent the past five months educating 70,000 people on the importance of dairy farming - through one little video.

Kieran Bourke, a 19-year-old university student, made the video, which portrays a day in the life of a dairy farmer, as part of a university activity.

The video has now been viewed almost 70,000 times on Facebook and 1000 times on YouTube.

"Dairy farming doesn't start and stop with putting the milking cups on. There's a lot more to it than that," Kieran said.

"I thought I'd compile a video to demonstrate what we do at home and explain that if you don't support Australian farmers now, we might not be here to produce milk in the future.

The family farm is owned and operated by Kieran's family, who now milk 475 cows on 465ha.

"Grandad started milking half a dozen cows in 1969 and it's continuously grown from there," Kieran said.

"It's unreal what he's achieved and for me to be able to share that recognition with him through the video was pretty special."

"It's not for the faint-hearted - it's an intensive industry with unique challenges."

Kieran said the video only captured a portion of life on a dairy farm.

"People have been really supportive and appreciative of what we do," he said.

"It was great to gain appreciation and recognition for the family for growing their business as well as recognition for the Queensland fresh milk market."

His parents encouraged all four siblings to spend a minimum of five years off the farm, urging them to get a tertiary education, travel abroad and gain life experience.

"There is never a dull moment. "It's a busy happy place," Kieran said.

"I always liked helping grandad in the dairy and helping dad feed the calves.

"They are my two most vivid memories.

"I don't think there could be a better upbringing."
