Paul has over 22 years of experience in the rural industry from livestock and grain trading to viticulture.

He has a Diploma of Agriculture from Tocal Agricultural college and has successfully run his own farm consulting business for over 20 years. He has a large amount of experience dealing with small/hobby farmers and those starting out. He knows the lay of the land in his local area and has a large number of local agricultural contacts.

Rebecca completed a B.Sci (Ag) in Adelaide and returned to Tasmania in 2005 and began working as an Agronomist for Elders and then later Serve-Ag. From there she started her own consulting business around 9 years ago.

Agronomy has always been an area of interest particularly helping owners of small farms. Rebecca offers soil tests and common sense practical advice for those wanting to manage and enjoy their own little patch. "I like to stay across Landcare grants, and encourage sustainable balanced practices. I like to incorporate property design, fencing, trees, water layout and strong pastures into my approach."

Rebecca has her own small property and an in-depth knowledge of horses. "Horses have very specific low sugar needs which most of our improved grass species do not cater for, as such correct advice here is very important and generally not well understood by other Agronomists."

Rebecca has completed a range of work for both auditing and certification bodies in both plants and livestock. The livestock auditing provides a background in NLIS and record keeping requirements for food safety, whilst seed certification keeps me up to date with how pastures species are performing.

Rebecca is also an approved provider for the farm household allowance which provides funding that goes towards agronomy expenses, information can be sourced via Rural Business Tasmania.
