| Your Story | 4th generation with the 5th scooting around helping dad. I worked as a shearer and contractor for 14 years. Built up a free range piggery business to allow me to stack an enterprise and return to the farm. I’m a fan of Christine Jones, John Kempf, and Fred Provenza. Interested in quorum sensing, DIY biologicals, chelation and foliar sprays. |
