Greg Rae, a third generation farmer from Kyalite, South Western Riverina, NSW.
He runs his 50,000 acre mixed farming operation, Warrawee, with his wife Sally, their son, Brad, and son in law, Locky.
Producing high protein wheat across 12,000 acres of their property, they supply local mills with wheat for flour. Greg and his family also sell prime lambs and produce wool from their livestock enterprise.
Greg most enjoys the satisfaction that comes with knowing that ultimately customers are benefiting from his products.
Greg knows he can rely on his mates in grain for tips on how to improve his own operation and as a source of valuable information sharing.
What is one thing you’re continually striving towards as a grain grower?
“Probably the most important thing is cost of production and yield. Yield is most important.”
What is one thing you love most about your job or lifestyle in grain?
“Getting to work with end users that use our product. That’s the most enjoyable thing, knowing they’re happy with the product.”
What is one thing you rely on your mates in the grain industry for?
“We talk about what we’re doing individually as growers and what works for us. Another grower might have a different machine that works better according to the changing seasons. So we’re always talking, sharing ideas. You can always learn better methods.”
