Episode 8 Tim Rethus, Farmer Horsham Vic – long-term controlled traffic farming grain and hay production

Tim Rethus is a farmer from Horsham whose family business Rethus Broadacre has run a controlled traffic farming system for more than 20 years. Tim shares with us their machinery configuration, the benefits, and the challenges of CTF. Rethus is one of the few farms in Australia that produce hay with equipment matched to their 12m CTF system so that all hay operations run on the wheel tracks.
