Sam Mason is a Farmer at “Spicers Run”, a 4,500-hectare mixed-farming operation near Wellington. Sam, his brother Joe, and their families use a 10-year cropping rotation schedule to help them make the most of their land.

He also shares how his intense production strategy helps to offset rising input costs.

Local Land Services Cropping Ag Advisor, Tim Bartimote, sat down with Sam out the back of the LLS ag shed among the dual-purpose hay samples.
