David Christie is a fourth-generation dairy farmer in Northwest Victoria. David and his wife Katrina run his family’s farm in Rochester, where they’ve introduced an innovative approach to reducing heat stress on their cows.

In this episode, David shares why they choose to use a day shed and a night shed, the role of compost in their farming operation, and how they increased their output by double cropping.
