Today we are going to be discussing some of the problems with corporate investment into Australian Agriculture with our guest, Matt Barton.

Matt is a fifth-generation farmer from central NSW but he is also a teacher, adviser and facilitator with RCS Australia. RCS is an integrated training, education & professional advice business that focuses solely on helping agricultural producers to best manage people, land and agricultural production systems.

Matt went to boarding school in Sydney then studied accounting and finance at University. On completion of his studies, he worked in the financial markets in Sydney in the 1980’s before holding a role as the Corporate Treasurer for a mid-tier mining company. 

He made the choice to return to agriculture and come back to the family farming operation in Central NSW in the mid 1990’s and in 2007 he joined RCS. 

Matt’s time in Sydney provided extensive experience in the corporate and investment sectors giving him the ability to engage, advise and comment at both the producer level and the investor/corporate level, and he has some valuable insights to share with us today.
