Join us for an insightful conversation with Ben Dwyer, the Chief Operating Officer at Harvest Road Group, one of Western Australia’s leading agribusinesses. In this episode, Ben shares his extensive knowledge of the beef supply chain, drawing on years of experience in the East Kimberley and Pilbara regions.

We explore the innovative approaches Harvest Road takes in sustainability and ecological farming, and how these practices are transforming their operations across grazing, processing, and even aquaculture. Ben also highlights the critical role of integrated supply chains, emphasising the importance of consistency and quality in agricultural products.

"Highly stressed animals don't perform well from a weight gain or an animal production point of view. This is why livestock leaders aren't shying away from animal warfare."

Listeners will gain valuable insights into Harvest Road’s efforts to elevate their supply chain, tackle industry challenges, and dispel common myths about corporate agriculture. Ben also discusses the significance of attracting and training skilled workers to strengthen the ag sector.
