#9 - Roger Beattie: Farming wild sheep, pearls, kelp, and weka
Rogers' family has a history of innovation. His father invented Beatties insulators and eartags. Roger has carried on the outside of the box thinking in his own way, by farming what others have not thought of to be farmable things.
Roger is involved in:
- weka conservation + setting up a weka industry
- breeding wild sheep
- farming paua and their pearls
- harvesting of kelp
This is not only a story of farming outside the box, but also of the red tape that he encountered. Roger doesn't pull his punches.
