Episode Synopsis

Today on National Ag Day themed ‘Grow you Good Thing’, we celebrate farmers and the incredible contribution they make to the lives of all Australians. Farmers are central to the future of this country and serve as an incredible example of resilience and ingenuity, adapting to the harsh Australian climate to feed the country and the world.One of those farmers is Brad Egan, who was awarded ‘Young Farmer of the Year’ in 2022 for his utilisation of technologies to help decision-making and lift productivity on farms. During the series, many of our Good People to Know have discussed the role and potential of technology to revolutionise the sector and Brad is the perfect example of how it can be put into practice.Brad joined Andrew Beer in person to talk about his family farm in Scaddan WA, the technology systems they’ve adopted and the benefits they’ve seen, as well as discussing sustainability and how technology can help the industry meet its goals.
