Some of the questions we want to fire at Broden might include:

• Where do you Farm, and what do you Farm?
• How is your Farm structured? Do you have family working with you?
• How was your 2023 Harvest?
• In hindsight, would you have done anything different during the growing season of 2023?
• What Crops do you grow, and what is your rotation?
• What's so good about Farming in your area?
• We are talking about the ultimate of 10 tonnes per hectare for Wheat as the ultimate, but you have a different measure. What is that?
• Have you got close to 10 tonnes to the hectare yet?
• What sort of things do you have to do to get there, or is it in Mother Nature's hands?
• You talk about managing tillers. Can you explain how you go about that and what outcomes you are looking for?
• What other things are you trying to master in your Cropping plan?
• You obviously have a thirst for knowledge. Do you find you observe things closely to try and nut things out?
• Are you a big record keeper, and if so, what do you use?
• You had 2 John Deere X9s running around last Harvest. What were you impressed with?
• What is your marketing strategy for your Grain?
• What part does your agronomist play?
• With the wet start to 2024, how much stored moisture do you have, and what rainfall do you need to get to the goal of 10 tonnes/ha?
• Are you bullish about 2024?
