Regional Update – Ian Pursehouse, Grower, West Wyalong, NSW

Got a question or topic you're interested in? Send us a text! Ian Pursehouse is our guest for this episode of the Regional Update. Located in NSW, in West Wyalong, Ian and his family transitioned from a mixed operation to 100% dryland cropping in the late 2010's, and have been learning from every experience since. Ian has a systems-focused approach, with an emphasis on optimising rotations to not only control weeds - one of the WeedSmart Big 6 principles - but minimise costs across the board. After a less-than-ideal season with low rainfall and frost, his philosophy of "controlling what you can" and strategic investment have ensured they are prepared for whatever comes next.
