Farm Yarns with Stuart Wesley

Season 3, Ep. 156

Welcome to this week's Farm Yarns, where Jack talks to Stuart Wesley about what motivates him and what really drives him to work within the work he does in Australian agriculture.


Farm Yarns was set up to find out a little bit more about the person on the other end of the audio and dive a little bit deeper into their own psychology. If you like this #FarmYarn please leave a review on Apple or Spotify Podcasts or wherever you listen on any podcast platform.


It is coming closer to the end of the year and we will be doing a little bit of a roundup of what has happened across 2022.


Make sure you continue the conversation on our socials at farms advice so that we don't lose the knowledge passed around. Keep on farming
