Biography
He has run a successful grain and livestock farming business, including laying hens and pullet rearing as well as ewes and breeding cattle, with his wife, Narelle, for 35 years. The farm not only produces most of its own feed requirements with an on-farm fee mill but has an extensive on-farm compost as part of the fertiliser program for grain production. In 2009 the farm was awarded the Brownhill Cup for Sustainable Farming.
