Tess & Bill (Pa) Lawless : Farming Over The Years With Family

Farms Advice Podcast talks to Bill and Tess Lawless, farming in Victoria Australia with the family. It's unreal to have both different generations on an episode. Bill and Tess discuss their experiences in farming, from the early days of using horses to the modern use of technology. They talk about the challenges they faced during droughts and the improvements they made on the farm over the years. Tess shares her journey of returning to the family farm and her love for working with her dad and learning from her grandfather.

They also discuss recent yields and the importance of physical and mental health in farming. In this conversation, Bill and Tess discuss their experiences and insights as multi-generational farmers. They touch on topics such as the changes in farming practices over the years, the challenges of working with family, the importance of staying updated with technology, and the need to prioritise health and self-care. They also discuss the financial aspects of farming, the impact of land prices and debt, and the importance of giving back to the community. The conversation highlights the lifelong learning nature of farming and the value of passing down knowledge from one generation to the next.
