Matt Flick: “I bite off more than I can chew then chew like hell.”

When Matt Flick started contracting, he was only hoping to make a bit of spending money on top of his farm work. He never imagined it would turn into a full time business with huge demand across Central Western NSW. Over the years, the growth has enabled Matt to purchase tractors and spray rigs, and hire two staff members to help meet the workload. He says it’s good practice for the farm he hopes to own one day.

Propagate tells the stories of NSW’s best and brightest young farmers and fishers. Each episode is a candid conversation about the business of primary production. The episodes focus on the business aspect of farming and fishing: from financing your first season, to building a brand, raising capital and managing mental health. We hear how young farmers and fishers got started, and what their plans are for the future. These are stories of innovation, resilience and entrepreneurship. Hear from people who have been where you are. Propagate is brought to you by the NSW Department of Primary Industries Young Farmer Business Program.
