Mark Mortimer is a self-confessed “Sheep Geek” who uses technology in some interesting ways. Mark farms alongside his father, brother and their family near Albert in Central West NSW, in their stud sheep operation and business, Centre Plus Merinos.

Mark is a problem solver at heart, and in this episode he shares some of the hard lessons he has learnt through his use of technology with livestock. He also uses his experience to give some tips to innovators out there on what farmers really need from their technology.

Local Land Services Mixed Farming Advisor, Rohan Leach managed to squeeze this interview in with Mark just before he headed into a busy harvest period.
