Bindi works two days a week for Department of Primary Industries and Regional Development (DPIRD) WA as a Research Scientist on soil amelioration projects. She also works part-time for Agrarian Management as a Precision Agriculture Consultant.

Bindi has developed extensive knowledge of controlled traffic farming and precision agriculture working on state and national projects. This includes writing the NACC Controlled Traffic Farming Technical Manual in 2013 that is a revised version of the original Tramline Farming Manual she wrote in 2003. All this talk of machinery means she has now got tyre kicking down to a fine art!

Chris Bluett is an agriculturist with broad experience in grain crop agronomy and farming systems, primarily in the High Rainfall Zone of Southern Victoria. His work on new crop development included the initial development, in the early 1970s, of rapeseed (now canola) as a rotation crop for wheat. Other crops in which he has experience include winter feed wheat, linseed, buckwheat and hemp. He led the team that, jointly with grain growers, developed raised bed cropping, a controlled traffic production system that prevents waterlogging damage to HRZ crops.

Jeff is an Australian agricultural engineer with broad experience in research, teaching, extension and consulting on technical and economic aspects of farm machinery and its impact on soil, cropping systems and the environment, with field experience in Australia, UK, and USA and China. From the early 1980's he worked on different aspects of CTF, including energy, hydrology, soil health, crop performance, economics and more recently, soil emissions.

Luke Clark is a partner in a family farming business at Jamestown, in the Mid-North of South Australia.

Their cropping enterprise is a full CTF zero till operation, retaining 100% of stubble to achieve constant ground coverage. There is a separate enterprise of a self-replacing merino flock. Luke has also work as a broad acre cropping agronomist.

He learns a great deal from other like-minded farmers, and fits it all to their environment, using his Degree from the “You-tube Uni” and his Masters from the “Google Institute of Time-wasting.

Currently employed by Vantage WA, Josh comes from a farming family who ran a sheep and cropping property in the central Wheatbelt district of Meckering.

Josh's passion for precision agriculture and controlled traffic farming prompted him to create an online community for local growers and enthusiasts, the WACTFA Facebook group.

Nickie has a Bachelor of Commerce and Diploma of Education and has been working in the agriculture service industry since 1990. Her initial work involved delivery agricultural training in business management ensuring that training met the needs of the students, usually adult learners.

In 1996 Nickie took on a 3-year project management role funded by GRDC, managing five self-directed learning groups for Women across Victoria. This led to a national GRDC funded project Partners in Grain.

Nickie has had a strong interest in ensuring that quality professional development is available for farm businesses, especially cropping. In 2010 Nickie supported ACTFA to set up as an incorporated organisation. She has taken a number of rolls as Treasurer, Secretary and has increasingly had input into the facilitation of quality, relevant professional development for all aspects of farming especially CTF, OHS and business Management
