Randall Wilksch is passionate about changing the narrative around the Australian grain industry, and a good way to do this, he thinks, is to get more women involved. Coming from a family of grain growers on South Australia’s lower peninsula, Randall Wilksh is the first to admit he fits neatly into the category of archetypal farmer. But he in no way sits idly in his stable position within the grains industry, instead, he questions the very nature of the industry itself. Are we as farmers
