I love eating. Food has to come from somewhere. Western Australian farmers do it pretty well, given they work with some of the planet's oldest soils - at least an order of magnitude older than most places in the world where agriculture is practised. These precious antiques (the soils, not the farmers) need looking after, and a bit of a helping hand..

Return to WA to work with amazing people in the plantation forestry sector. ITC metamorphosed into Elders Forestry late in 2009 after Elders as the majority shareholder bought out all the minority holders, making ITC a wholly-owned subsidiary and removing it from independent ASX listing.
