Dr Rick Llewellyn: 2026 Seed of Light award - South
Q: What are some of the most memorable projects Rick worked on and why were they memorable?
Rick highlights the herbicide resistance management work in Western Australia, the integration of growers, researchers, and industry partners, and the early trials on harvest weed seed control as especially memorable due to urgency, collaboration, and tangible progress against resistance.
Managing capital in a farm enterprise
Q: You talked about asset turnover ratio. Can you expand on that a bit?
Joanne explains that asset turnover should be considered relative to each farming business, including personal assets, and involves evaluating what income each asset generates and how replacements or new investments impact long-term productivity.
Avoid the smashed egg: Improve on-farm communication
Q: How can emotional skills transform a farm business if done well?
By making people feel valued and in control, teams work more cohesively, reducing conflict and increasing productivity as everyone understands their roles and the bigger picture, leading to calmer decision-making and better outcomes for farm operations.
Avoid the smashed egg: Improve on-farm communication
Q: Why is good communication especially important in a farm business setting?
Clear, non-judgmental language prevents defensiveness that arises from good/bad judgments, enabling people to think more clearly and stay in their 'thinking brain' during conflicts, which helps solve problems and keeps family and staff aligned.
