Cavan Station might have well-known owners today (the Murdoch family), but the large property in southern New South Wales has long held a place in Australian history, as pioneers of the fine wool industry.And Cavan Station is still innovating today. In fact, the 25,000 acre (10,000 ha) farm has undergone a significant transformation over the past 10 years, including adopting the latest technologies, from genetics and genomics, to data analysis and software.At the helm of this change is the General Manager of Cavan Station, Matt Crozier.In this episode he discusses:The challenges and benefits of encouraging a farming team to use more technology and different farming methods.Shifting to “regenerative” agriculture (a term Matt doesn’t love), and focusing more on animal welfare, including stopping mulesing.The economic and ecological performance of the farm, since incorporating new tech and alternative farming methods.For more resources and our insights on the chat with Matt, check out our website here.
