Andrew and Meegan Young (along with their son Joseph and Andrew’s parents) run "Napier", a mixed farming enterprise at Purlewaugh. They rotate wheat, canola and lucerne; a system that requires lower inputs and has the added benefit of increased beef production.

In this episode, you'll learn how Andrew and Meegan had to make some tough decisions during the drought. Meegan talks about how much she loves her cows. And we also discuss how Andrew and Meegan's kids helped make the decision to destock that little bit easier.
