About Nigel

Nigel is the CEO of Kerin Ag. Arguably one of the most successful Farming operations in Australia. Nigel will teach us lots of things in his interviews. Have the notepad and pen ready. 

Nigel will be on a panel from 9:45 - 10:30, talking about the innovative way to buy Land and fund it. He will also be doing a one-on-one interview with David Cornish from 2:00-2:30, talking about his Farming story.

What can we expect from the interview with Nigel?

Buying Land and Funding it.

Have you been through a succession plan with any of your family?

What are some of the approaches you have used to buy Land? How have you funded it? Are there other ways to go about it that you haven't explored yet?

What advice can you give to young guys looking to become Landowners? What are some traps young people can fall into when buying Land?

What sort of equity ratios do you work on? When do you buy extra Land to grow your business?

In your eyes, what do you expect Land prices to do?

Nigel's Farming operation,

Explain your Farm operation?

You are big on social media. Has that played a big part in the rise of your Ram selling operation?

Can you keep scaling your Ram selling business? If so, how do you plan to do that, as many equivalent businesses are shrinking?

When you're trading Cattle or Sheep, do you always start with a fixed end price and work backwards from there? If the trade doesn't add up, will you pull the pin?

When's usually the best time to trade?

What's your plan for the next dry period/Drought?
