A finger in every Pye: Drought, Dorpers, and drying silos

This episode is part two of our two-part chat with Harry Pye. In the last episode, Harry discussed the ag labour shortage and how his family has turned to robotics and automation for their mixed farming operation near Walgett. 

In this episode, Harry sheds some light on his sheep enterprise and how labour shortages influenced their decision to switch from Merinos to Dorpers. He also discusses drought preparedness, confinement lots, feedlots, and how grain storage and drying silos have revolutionised their operation.

Local Land Services Mixed Farming Advisor, Rohan Leach, sat down with his mate Harry for all the details.
