Show Notes
Robbie Peters and his family run "Burrawang" at Yarrabandai, northwest of Forbes. Robbie runs a mixed-farming operation, where he trades sheep and cattle, alongside crop farming on a short rotation coming out of pasture.
In today's episode, Robbie shares how he got his start in ag through cattle trading, and how he ended up cropping in a shared-farming arrangement. He also explains how an overdraft account allowed him to expand his operation, and eventually even purchase his own farm.
Local Land Services Mixed Farming Advisor, Rohan Leach, sat down for a cuppa and a yarn with Robbie at "Burrawang" Homestead.
