About this episode
Working in remote parts of Australia doesn't mean no one is watching. Quite the opposite. In Queensland's Goondiwindi Region, a station general manager has become one of seven inaugural recipients of the AgriEmpower Scholarship. The prize is $20 000 for the winners to continue to be change-makers in the industry. Andrew Powne of Cameron Pastoral Company joins me now. Andrew's favourite place on the station is home, because "home is where the heart is." A typical day for Andrew involves managing 6–7k head of cattle and keeping people moving. He was recently part of the first cohort of scholarship recipients, embracing the philosophy of raising and training the next generation despite its challenges. Andrew plans to use the prize money for stock development, which will ultimately give back to the farming community. He is passionate about regenerative agriculture and how it is applied on the station.
