Matthew is a multi-generational farmer at Mullengandra. He completed his Advanced Diploma of Agriculture through the University of Melbourne in 2006, before returning home to manage his family property, Old Cobran, North-West of Deniliquin. The property was 8000 hectares of mixed irrigation and dry land cropping, the family’s Poll Merino Stud, and commercial beef cattle. Matthew’s real passion was working with sheep, which led to a business decision that saw operations move east to Mullengandra, in the Eastern Riverina of NSW. This decision proved fruitful, allowing an increase of stock numbers to now run 5000 ewes and commercial cattle on 1820ha of undulating land. Matthew enjoys the challenges that farming brings, and is constantly looking for ways to improve and make the farm more efficient and productive.
