Not sitting in a field for once, I caught up with Roddy Brown, CommBank’s General Manager for Agribusiness Banking. In this 6‑minute conversation, we discuss insights from Roddy’s recent trip across the ditch to New Zealand, along with innovative practices he’s seen across rural Australia - including Optiweigh, cattle GPS collars and soil practice improvements. We finish by unpacking which agricultural industries are currently outperforming, and which are doing it tough. This podcast was recorded in late March at the CommBank Cultivate event in the Hunter Valley, which brought together close to 100 cattle producers from around Australia.
