Episode Synopsis "Episode 5 Luke Clark, A farmer from Jamestown South Australia talks about his CTF Journey."

Luke Clark is a partner in a family farming business at Jamestown, in the Mid-North of South Australia. Their cropping enterprise is a full CTF zero till operation, retaining 100% of stubble to achieve constant ground coverage. There is a separate enterprise of a self-replacing merino flock. Luke has also worked as a broad acre cropping agronomist. He learns a great deal from other like-minded farmers, and fits it all to their environment, using his degree as he puts it from the “You-tube Uni” and his master's from the “Google Institute of Time-wasting. In this episode Luke tells us how he got started in farming and made the transition to CTF. Luke also offers some insights into setting up a CTF system and the benefits that CTF has bought to his family farming enterprise.
