サマリー
あらすじ・解説
Today we hear from Lochie Siegert and David Giddings. Lochie, a young farmer from Wangary on the lower Eyre Peninsula (EP) interviews David Giddings, an experienced farmer from Wanilla on the lower EP.
David delves into how his farming career began and the role in which his father helped shape the scale of their farming business. Doubling their farming area since returning to the farm after tertiary study in 1994 has been a long but rewarding process with plenty of challenges thrown in. David refers to his time studying agriculture and other training opportunities that he has taken advantage of, and how important it is to be continually learning while still working and managing a farming business.
Lochie asks about how David has combatted the complexities of farming non-wetting sandy duplex soils and how they have used amelioration to increase their productivity on these soils, while still running a livestock component to his business.
