#53 - People, economics and environment with Otto Dogterom
In this episode Jono jumps in the tractor cab with dairy farmer and president of Federated Farmers' North Otago Provincial Executive, Otto Dogterom.
Otto has been dairy farming for over 30 years and has a wealth of knowledge to share from how he got started, to navigating family farming ups and downs, to simple principles he uses to monitor farm performance.
Otto talks about how looking after your finances, your people and your environment pays dividends in farming. And he says you have to love farming to make it work- and Otto sure loves farming!!
There is some background tractor noise in this one as Jono and Otto drive around chopping and carting silage on one of Otto's support farms, but we're sure you'll agree it doesn't get any more authentic than that!
This may even be the start of a whole new trend of episodes recorded on the farm?
Let us know your thoughts and we hope you enjoy!
