This week we chat with Tim Pannell, who is quite literally a mover and shaker in Australia’s agricultural industry. When Tim invented the “Reefinator,” it addressed a major challenge for producers in Western Australia – areas on properties that couldn’t be farmed because of hard, rocky land. The Reefinator is machine that makes it cost effective and easy to convert that rock into arable land, and are now all over Australia.
Until Tim Pannell invented the Reefinator, WA's laterite (hard and rocky) soils have been one of those aspects of farming that producers had to work around. Now, they can work with it. Tim recently won the WA Innovator of the Year in the Growth category, and we speak with him this week on Regional Voices, supported by Commonwealth Bank.
