Join us for a conversation with Robert Sewell, a third-generation grain grower from Wongan Hills and former Chairman of the Grain Pool of WA, whose career spans six decades of Australian agriculture.
We explore how he thinks about risk, capital and expansion, why he believes the farmers who struggle most are often the ones who retreat inward, and what the merger of the Grain Pool and CBH taught him about leadership and listening.
"You start with nothing, you've got to learn somehow, and the best way to learn is to get the people around you who can help you do that."
Robert also reflects on the transformation he has witnessed in grain farming across six decades, from hand-cleared paddocks and bagged superphosphate to precision soil science, auto steer and the coming age of autonomous machinery.
A conversation with one of WA's most experienced grain growers, and a reminder that the fundamentals of a good farm business have not changed as much as the technology has.
