Farming Philosophy
Firstly to pay respect to the traditional owners " The Ngarrindjeri ", as I do not own the land, I am a caretaker of this land for the next generation. I come from a beef and cotton family since 1858 when my great grandfather worked alongside the local indigenous people and made them shareholders in the farming business, not treated them as slaves. He respected their country, educated locals on their significance and drew on their knowledge and expertise to create success. For this, I am proud. Farming is a community effort, always has been and always will. Success is from integration, open mindedness and having a go. Arrogance and production are opposing ideals and the most successful growers of any produce share everything their reap. There are no courses in this country on " Farming for the non farmer ", so here I am learning from Charlie and the posts on here, and we will never know it all.
