don morrison
Apart from general farming duties DON runs the Growbulk and Romney Studs, concentrating on all the extra work that needs to be done. Time consuming and tedious tasks with an attention to detail is often what is required to analyse and fine tune decisions for the best possible result. The challenge is worth the result. A B.Com.(Ag) from Lincoln University and 4 years work in London Financial Markets helped focus the attention to detail.
