It Changed Their Business with Adam & Jody Turner","html":"","width":"100%","height":180,"duration":2094,"description":"Adam and Jody Turner are first-generation farmers who bought Spring Hill in the Hunter Valley in 2016, just before the 2017-2019 drought. Since then, they’ve grown from a lifestyle-farming ambition into a multi-farm, paddock-to-plate business spanning livestock, processing, retail, and direct-to-consumer food.\n\nIn this episode, we discuss:\nHow drought shaped the way they think about risk and decision-making\nWhy cash flow forecasting and knowing their numbers gave them more confidence to grow\nThe role of business coaching in clarifying priorities and major investment decisions\nHow water infrastructure, soil health and ground cover have become central to drought preparation\nThe livestock triggers they use around early weaning, culling and confinement feeding\nWhy they focus on what is happening on the ground rather than letting seasonal forecasts drive decisions\nHow a shared vision and values help them move quickly on opportunities\nThe role of team culture, peer support and asking for help\nHow connecting production directly with the customer has changed how they plan and budget\nChapters\n\n\nThe Farm Business Resilience Program is jointly funded by the Australian Government’s Future Drought Fund and the NSW Government.\nFind out what’s on and register at nsw.gov.au/fbrp","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/PupbXbFywMWTJ5gch17EL4BoFl2vAICgyQAK9XnOB7I/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS9zaG93/LzMxNDk1LzE2NjAw/ODMxNDAtYXJ0d29y/ay5qcGc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
