Episode 5 of Stockyard Sessions, brought to you by Atlas Ag, features a wide-ranging conversation with eighth-generation farmer and regenerative agriculture advocate Charlie Arnott.

Charlie talks through the changes he’s implemented on his family property. What used to be a conventionally managed, high-input mixed enterprise has become a farm managed with biodynamic principles, holistic grazing, and a philosophy of working with nature rather than against it. He opens up about the mindset shifts that supported this transition, including the value of focusing on what you can truly control, and how simple practices like daily gratitude have changed the way he approaches both farming and life.

“There’s so much in farming that’s out of our control… the weather, markets, inputs, and worrying about it won’t change a thing. What we can control is how we respond. That realisation has given me so much more time, so much more space in my head.”- Charlie Arnott

Charlie also talks about what’s next for Hanaminno, sharing the changes he’s making now and those he’ll introduce as his soil carbon project moves forward.
