Joe Fleming is a fifth-generation Farmer with his family on their 10,000-hectare mixed farming operation, “Ulah”, near Walgett. Wheat and chickpeas are the primary crops at "Ulah" with some opportunistic irrigated cotton, cattle trading, and agistment when seasonal conditions allow it.

Joe is also the Founder and Director of Evolve Engineering, which designs and manufactures innovative farming technology such as “crimpers” to allow farmers to manage weeds without disturbing the soil.

In this episode, Joe tells the tale of creating the Bladerunner, a chevron blade barrel attachment designed for weed management and explains the benefits for pastures and cropping country. He also opens up about his family’s succession journey and reflects on how fortunate he is to be in a position where inheriting a farm is possible.

Local Land Services Mixed Farming Advisor, Rohan Leach sat down with Joe to ask what he thinks about the future of agriculture.
