Central Station
About this episode

Carbon Farming is a topic that been dominating the Australian media over the past several years. I don’t know about you, but even with an agricultural science degree - I still struggle to understand how it works, and how there’s a market for it. If you’re in the same boat, then you’re in luck - because after listening to today’s episode, your understanding of carbon farming will have definitely improved! 

In this episode I’m sitting down with Dave McQuie from Bulga Downs Station in the Goldfields region of WA.  Dave has a carbon project on his station, and in our chat he explains how it works, and what the benefits have been to the landscape, business, and people involved.
