Episode description

In this episode, we sit down with David Tropiano, a grain farmer from Mullewa, WA, as he shares his journey from a reluctant start in farming to running a multi-generational operation.  

David opens up about the realities of farming in Western Australia, from handling different soil types and the competitive land market to the impact of weather on crops.  

He also reflects on the evolution of farming practices, the importance of long-term leasing agreements, and how he and his family are planning for the future.
