The Country is going "Outback with Allflex." Jamie Mackay catches up with some of the leading lights in the Platinum Primary Producers Group (comprising 150 of the largest and most productive farmers across Australasia).

Listen below:

Today it's the turn of David Foote from Australian Country Choice which is one of the world's largest vertically integrated beef operations.

Australian Country Choice owns leases and manages 54 Queensland properties - totalling 662,500 hectares, (1.7 million acres). These properties accommodate around 15,000 breeding beef cows, 54,000 young growing beef cattle and 46,000 young beef cattle in feedlots to provide 240,000 head of cattle each year to the processing facility.
