A firm believer in making hay while the sun shines, Bevan has been farming on his family’s mixed enterprise farm, 5km from Petersville since he left school.

He is married to Christine, and they have two daughters and a son who also enjoys agriculture.

Bevan has ventured far and wide but always returned to his home turf, and his time is now occupied with growing wheat, barley, lentils and hay, feeding sheep and cattle, marketing products, and maintaining anything that’s broken.

Working to foster a network of skills and information to bring technology and best practice to ABSA’s members and the wider farming community, Bevan says ABSA membership is good for the soil and great for the soul.
