Daniel Volkofsky manages a 2,200 ha cropping program across four farms in the Bearbung Valley, east of Gilgandra. With livestock absent from each property for at least a generation, Daniel shares with us some of the challenges he's experienced and the knowledge he's gained from continuous cropping in one of the region's coldest climates.

Daniel believes getting on top of weeds in this farming system is an important key for success, and in this episode, he shares his methodology. He also discusses why he’s a keen supporter of the local crop competition, and why he’s an advocate of farmers learning from each other to get the best out of their land.

Local Land Services Cropping Officer Tim Bartimote sat down with Daniel overlooking his winter crops, for this great yarn.
