2015 Weekly Times Coles Farmer of the Year Grant Sims runs a mixed cropping business near Echuca and has gone from strength to strength since winning the award. Now he gives talks across the country on how to optimise yields by caring for the soil. 

PLUS the Four Daughters sisters talk to Tom Middlebrook, who runs a dairy farm near Gloucester, NSW. After being hit hard by the Millennium Drought, Tom has devoted himself to creating a farming system that makes the most of their resources, with a keen focus on sustainable irrigation systems.
