Kondinin Farm Group / ABC Rural Australian Woolgrower of the Year 2013

We were doing it pretty tough. For a variety of reasons, we owed a fair bit of money and banks were being pretty miserable. So, yes, we had to do something different. After discussing my situation with Greg, he suggested I look at what was happening in various demonstrations around the country and that was the beginning of it. It’s been a pretty easy process, to be quite honest. One anyone can do! It’s one that hasn’t been entirely our management; you’ve got to say that the real level of flock production growth has come from Greg, Deb, and the implementation of the TOP Producers Program.

It deals with the farm as a whole system and you really can’t pick the eyes out of it like that where with a lot of demonstrations they’re quite simple and cover one section but this has got that whole farm system – you know that there is no smoke and mirrors behind the doors……. The comprehensiveness of this is extraordinary.
