General Manager

Steve has been involved in agricultural research, development and extension for over 30 years, and has a history of applied and practical achievement. He began his career with the Department of Agriculture researching aspects of soil acidity and plant nutrition. During his PhD studies, Steve developed a soil test to identify subsoil Al toxicity on the naturally acidic sand plain soils in the eastern wheat belt. Steve then worked with CLIMA in pasture and forage legume breeding and selection. During this period, he made significant contribution to the new directions in pasture improvement which lead to the release of several cultivars of clover. With a comprehensive knowledge of current farm systems and a capacity to contribute ideas and new developments, Steve strengthens the Aglime commitment to help clients maximise profits within sustainable farming systems.

Sales and Marketing Manager

15 years in lime research and extension with the Department of Agriculture has given Garts an incredible knowledge of soil acidity and agriculture throughout the Ag zones of Western Australia. His work with deep placement of lime and nutritional issues related to liming during these years enable him to provide excellent support and technical advice for both farmers and consultants. He is a keen golfer and enjoys fishing and coaching basketball. A devoted family man who also enjoys farming and being hands on, Garts is a positive team player who adds support to the Aglime team.

Consultant

Rob began his career analysing samples up and down the WA coastline helping to develop the resources that supply WA farmers today. A background in engineering provides a solid foundation to solve any problems we face in helping farmers tackle the soil acidity limitations they face. Rob is excited about how improvements in sampling and application methods can improve yields and reduce costs by enabling farmers to target their inputs with increasing precision.
