The rise and rise of the co-operative
Strength in numbers: The Power of Farming Cooperatives
Will Lambell is a Farmer at “Weenya” and a Board Member of Tooraweenah Prime Lamb Marketing Co-Op. Will and his family run a mixed farming operation with cropping, shorthorn cattle, and over 2,000 head of self-replacing merino sheep. He is particularly focused on the livestock side of the business and sits on the board of the local marketing cooperative.
In this episode, Will explains how “strength in numbers” is beneficial to farmers participating in a co-op. He also opens up about how he tries to practise what he preaches to only send prime, high-quality animals to sale.
Local Land Services Mixed Farming Advisor, Rohan Leach caught up to chat with Will at his property overlooking the picturesque Warrumbungle Range.
