“Research soil carbon issues.”
Alistair is a partner in his family’s mixed livestock and cropping business, based in the southern Riverina on their 2500ha property, with an additional 1500ha of leased land. They run a 2500- head Merino flock and 2500 first-cross ewes for prime lamb production, with cropping focused on winter cereals, canola and lucerne hay. Production is based on biological farming systems to improve soil health and Alastair plans to research the role of soil carbon in maintaining fertility and possibly generating additional income. His itinerary includes the cropping regions of North America, Canada and Europe.
