The Producers: Bruce Maynard (Wheat and Sheep farmer) - valuing diversity and soil health
Description
Bruce Maynard isn’t farming like those around him. His fields at Willydah, west of Dubbo in NSW, look different, greener, wilder, a little more chaotic. He’s a wheat and sheep farmer like many in the region, but he’s just as interested in lizards, migratory birds and native legumes as grain yield. Where the system pushes for simplicity, he’s valuing diversity and soil health, and looking for ways that agriculture can be both profitable and sustainable.
Read my story about Bruce Maynard and another wheat farmer and previous podcast guest, Jason Cotter.
