EP Ag Chats - RiskWi$e Podcast: Season update 2026 - Grower reflections with Ashley Michael
Sunday, 28 June, 2026

Jake Giles speaks with Ashley “AJ” Michael, a mixed farmer from Mount Damper west of Wudinna, about a high-potential but demanding start to the 2026 season. AJ discusses early sowing, wet conditions, fertiliser and fuel supply challenges, nitrogen decisions, sand amelioration, the move away from sheep, and the balance between managing costs and taking advantage of a strong seasonal opportunity. The conversation highlights a key RiskWise theme: when the season presents rare upside, growers still need to weigh input costs, logistics, seasonal risk and business confidence before deciding how hard to push.
