Fritz Bolten is so dedicated to making agriculture work in Western Australia’s rugged Kimberley region he’s tried growing more than 26 different crops. He owns Oasis Farms, a 573 ha irrigated cropping enterprise in the Ord Valley growing chia, corn, chickpeas, mungbeans, cotton and sorghum forage seed. In this episode of GRDC In Conversation, host Oli Le Lievre chats with Fritz about why he’s transitioning to an exclusively cotton and corn rotation. His ‘have a go’ approach to farming has led to some big wins, but also some losses along the way, as he navigates the extreme monsoon weather conditions, logistical hurdles and limited infrastructure of the vast subtropical north.   GRDC in Conversation is a limited series GRDC Podcast.
