This special episode comes from our mates at the REX (Rural Exchange) podcast — New Zealand’s go-to show for everything agribusiness and rural news. In this episode, host Dom George talks with Nelson-based American businessman and Lone Star Farms Ltd. owner Tom Sturgess. They discuss Tom's decision to put three of the farms, known as the Southern Farm Collection, up for international tender (Caberfeidh, The Wandle and Barewood). They also talk about the Headwaters breeding programme and producing award-winning Lumina lamb. They also discuss the idea behind Methane Mitigation Ventures, which Tom established to help reduce the climatic impact of ruminant farming.
