With a deep understanding of the challenges faced by sugar growers in the region, Kevin works with growers to explore practice management changes that improve production, reduce costs and support the regional environment.
After 22 years of farming in Africa, he moved to Mackay, joining the Productivity Board as an advisor to local growers. During his 16 years there, he played a key role in the rollout of Reef Rescue and early controlled traffic projects across the Mackay and Plane Creek districts. For the past seven years, he worked in Mackay Sugar Mill’s Agricultural Department, serving as a liaison between the Mill and growers, supporting their agronomic, mapping, and data needs. His extensive experience enables him to drive initiatives that support both productive and sustainable farming in the region.
