Send us Fan MailAG INNOVATION SERIES | Innovation Beyond Technology with Josie CopleyIn the final episode of the Ag Innovation Series, Sam Fryer sits down with Josie Copley from Copley Pastoral to explore what innovation really means in modern agriculture.As part of a fifth-generation family beef business and Brahman seedstock operation, Josie brings a unique perspective to the innovation conversation. Working across livestock production, marketing and communications, she sees firsthand how businesses can evolve through genetics, data, better decision making and a commitment to continuous improvement.Throughout the conversation, Josie challenges the idea that innovation is always about new technology. Instead, she shares why some of the most powerful innovations come from doing the small things consistently well over time.In this episode we discuss:• Innovation beyond technology• Genetics and data-driven breeding decisions• The role of BreedPlan and objective measurement• Building a profitable and sustainable family business• Why adoption is often harder than innovation• The importance of curiosity and continuous learning• Field days and knowledge sharing across the industry• Collaboration between producers, researchers and industry• The role of the next generation in shaping Australian agricultureWe also dive into Copley Pastoral's Curious Minds, Profitable Herds Field Day and discuss how events like these help bridge the gap between research, innovation and practical on-farm adoption.One of the biggest takeaways from this conversation is that innovation doesn't always need to be revolutionary. Sometimes the greatest gains come from making small improvements, staying curious and consistently moving forward.This episode wraps up the Ag Innovation Series, a collaboration between A Place to Call Home and the Pandaemonium Paper exploring the people, ideas and technologies shaping the future of Australian agriculture.PandaemoniumWebsite: https://www.pandaemonium.orgInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/p.andaemonium/If you enjoyed this episodePlease share it with a friend or leave a review — it really helps these stories reach more people across rural Australia and the agriculture industry.Stay connected with A Place to Call Home:📘 Facebook: A Place to Call Home📸 Instagram: @aplacetocallhomepodcast🔗 LinkedIn: A Place to Call Home Podcast🌏 Website: www.aplacetocallhome.com.auSupport the show

Send us Fan MailG’day and welcome to the A Place to Call Home Podcast.In this episode, I’m joined by Charlie Thurgate, a 24-year-old cattle producer based in Tamworth, New South Wales — and someone who genuinely wears a lot of hats.Charlie’s story is one of resilience, responsibility, and having a crack. From stepping into management at a young age, to building his own trucking business, surviving a serious accident, and rebuilding from the ground up — Charlie has packed a lot into his early twenties.Today, he’s building Kamilaroi Cattle Company, a paddock-to-plate beef business grounded in regenerative principles, while also growing Element Agri, a mineral business supplying livestock and soil health products across Australia — all while continuing to learn, trial, and refine his systems.What stood out most in this conversation is Charlie’s level of perspective and wisdom for someone his age. He’s thoughtful, open about mistakes, and deeply committed to building systems that work with the land, not against it.This is a practical, honest conversation about regenerative agriculture, genetics, business, and what it really takes to build something from scratch in agriculture.In this episode, we chat about:Taking on responsibility at a young age and learning on the jobOvercoming adversity and rebuilding after a life-changing accidentTransitioning land from cropping back to pastureRegenerative agriculture and ultra-high density grazingSanga genetics and breeding cattle for resilience and efficiencyBuilding a paddock-to-plate beef business from scratchThe realities of running multiple ag businesses at 24Systems thinking, soil health, and long-term land stewardshipResources MentionedMAN, CATTLE and VELD : Zietsman, Johann: Amazon.com.au: BooksIntegrity Soils - Biological Education SpecialistsFollow Charlie📘 Facebook: Kamilaroi Cattle Company📸 Instagram: @kamilaroicattlecompany @elementagri 🌏 Website:Kamilaroi Cattle CompanyIf you enjoyed the episode, please share it with your friends and leave a review—it really helps us keep these conversations going.Stay connected with A Place to Call Home:📘 Facebook: A Place to Call Home📸 Instagram: @aplacetocallhomepodcast🔗 LinkedIn: A Place to Call Home Podcast🌏 Website: www.aplacetocallhome.com.au🎙️ This episode is brought to you by, Speed TaggerYou can learn more at Speed Tagger WebsiteSpeed Tagger – Speed TaggerSupport the show

Send us Fan MailG'day and welcome to episode 72 of the A Place To Call Home PodcastToday I’m joined by Jacob (Jake) Wolki, a mixed-enterprise farmer from Woomargama in southern New South Wales. Jake and his wife Ann run a 60-hectare home block with Nguni cattle, Berkshire pigs, laying hens, honey, an orchard and a stack of little side enterprises – all feeding into their on-farm butchery and direct-to-consumer business.What started as a personal health crisis and a backyard veggie patch has evolved into a fully fledged, multi-layered farm business: regenerative, direct-to-consumer, value-adding, and fiercely family-centred. Jake is also known for creating one of Australia’s first 24/7 unstaffed butcher shops, his unapologetically honest social media, and his advocacy for “fit-for-purpose” African genetics like Nguni cattle and Damara sheep.Whether you’re dreaming of stacking enterprises, going direct-to-consumer, or just want your kids more involved in the day-to-day, this yarn is packed with hard-won lessons, uncomfortable truths and plenty of practical inspiration.In this episode we chat aboutHow a health crisis pushed Jacob from the “stupid Australian diet” into growing food and building a regenerative farm business.The journey from leasing his dad’s 100-acre block to creating a fully integrated farm, butchery and nationwide direct-to-consumer model.Why he built one of Australia’s first 24/7 unstaffed butcher shops — and how it transformed the business.The power of value-adding: turning trim, fat and “waste” into high-margin products like tallow, broth and skincare.Why Jacob chooses African genetics like Nguni cattle and Damara sheep for fit-for-purpose, low-input, resilient farming.Resources MentionedHow to Win Friends and Influence People by Dale Carnegie - Penguin Books AustraliaThe Richest Man in Babylon, eBook by George S.
