In Queensland's Goondiwindi Region, a station general manager has become one of seven inaugural recipients of the AgriEmpower Scholarship. The prize is $20 000 for the winners to continue to be change-makers in the industry. Andrew Powne of Cameron Pastoral Company joins me now. Andrew's favourite place on the station is home, because "home is where the heart is."A typical day for Andrew involves managing 6–7k head of cattle and keeping people moving.He was recently part of the first cohort of scholarship recipients, embracing the philosophy of raising and training the next generation despite its challenges.Andrew plans to use the prize money for stock development, which will ultimately give back to the farming community.He is passionate about regenerative agriculture and how it is applied on the station.Andrew is interested in sustainable farming and the systems he wants to implement for long-term impact.He explains what a carbon-positive supply chain looks like in practice.What Andrew loves most about life on the land is the opportunity to lead and contribute to the community.Leaders in the industry have influenced him and helped him become a station general manager.Andrew values the community and being actively involved as a highlight of life on the land.Common misconceptions within agriculture are something Andrew would love to see change.Andrew's ultimate dream for the future We hope to see you back on the road soon, to learn more about how Australia grows on the next episode of Australian Farmers with Angie Asimus.
