🎙️ The Agro #13 – Is 100% Equity Lazy?
It’s a spicy one: is running your farm with 100% equity actually… lazy?
In this edition of Terminator Agro, we ask whether total financial control is always the smart move—or if it could be holding some businesses back.
We dig into good debt, risk tolerance, and what it means to play offense, not just defence, in modern ag.
Don’t worry—it’s not financial advice. Just a good ol’ question worth chewing on.

The Agro The Big Question!
🎙️ The Agro #12 – The Big Question
“How long does it take to run down a ryegrass seedbank?”
It’s the question we finally got after a year of Terminator Agro newsletters—and it’s a big one.
In this episode, we dive into the science (shout-out to Mike Walsh and a truckload of trials), crunch the spreadsheet, and layer in real-world grower experience to find out how long it actually takes to bring weed numbers down with harvest weed seed control.
Spoiler: it’s not a one-season fix. But it does work.

Peter And Andrew Moore: The art of growing good crops
In this episode, Nick caught up with Peter and Andrew Moore from Horsham, VIC, during his road trip through NSW & VIC in July 2024. The Moore brothers share invaluable lessons passed down from their dad about the art of growing a good crop.
They talk about the importance of "focusing on maximising what we have rather than expanding," a principle that has guided their approach to sustainable farming. They also dive into the pitfalls of shortcuts in farming: "Taken a shortcut, and then you're chasing a bad patch of ryegrass for the next 5-6 years."
With their deep connection to the land and dedication to getting it right, the Moore brothers remind us why sustainable practices are worth the effort. As they put it, "We might quit when we get it right."
Tune in to hear their journey and insights into farming smarter, not harder.
