Agronomist (Broadacre)

Pat Conlan

Pat joined Elders in 2022 as a broadacre agronomist based at Elders Swan Hill. He specialises in broadacre cropping but also services pastures and rice. He works closely with the senior agronomists at the branch. 

Pat graduated from Dookie College in 2018 with a Bachelor of Agricultural Science. After completing his degree, he moved overseas for a year to work on farms in England, before coming home to pursue an agronomy role in the Victorian Mallee. He has close ties to the region with family farms at Sea Lake, Nandaly and Wycheproof, which he enjoys getting back to over harvest.

Pat writes a regular agronomy update which is published in the North West Farmer in The Guardian.
