FAS TV S6 Ep13
After working on other farms across Scotland and the USA for 10 years, James MacIver returned home to become the third generation to farm at Wester Coltfield. However, this coincided with increasing input costs and declining returns, prompting a desire to introduce a new enterprise to facilitate becoming a partner with his father Cameron.
Watch now to hear how James has joined with his father Cameron as a partner in the business - sharing responsibility, decision-making and the vision for the future.
FAS TV covers a wide range of topics across sectors, as well as regular updates on regulatory and policy changes.
Agri Culture – Harvest Her Power: Katja Williams
In this episode, Mary-Jane Lawrie is joined by Katja Williams. Katja is an Australian farmer, podcaster, founder, homesteader, and author. Her life is built around Australian agricultural community and creating practical resources that help women to thrive on the farm. Through podcasting, she takes the opportunity to share stories of her own family farm, opinion pieces and good news about the industry. Through ‘The Ultimate Farmer’s Wife’ podcast she connected with women sharing their stories which inspired her to launch her not for profit organisation, ‘Harvest Her Power’. We discuss farming life in Australia, how she juggles the demands of farm work, her own business goals and running a national conference whilst raising a young family.
