Your Story	I am new to farming. I have a career working with teams in large organisations to help them be more effective. Whilst rewarding work, it isn’t enough. My husband and I have purchased 40Ha in Kangaroo Gully with the aim of regenerating the land, making it healthy so it can produce healthy animals. We are aiming to grow mixed species pasture for grass-fed cattle and improve the water and mineral cycles on the property, contributing to a healthier environment.
Challenges I can best help others solve are:	Team effectiveness; Coaching; Facilitation; Asking questions
Key challenges I would like to solve are:	Agisting land; Growing quality pasture;
