Rick and Jenny Robertson’s 1,000-hectare property at Bengworden, near Bairnsdale in Victoria, has been in the family for 70 years. Rick’s father bought the property in 1950 to breed Merinos for fine wool, and Rick continues that tradition.

“Merino breeding is the only thing I have wanted to do since leaving school,” Rick said.
“We join 3,000 and have no wethers over one year of age. Our Merino breeding operation also includes a stud, and crossbred lambs are produced from second grade ewes.”
Rick and Jenny were finalists in the most recent Weekly Times Coles farmer of the year competition.

Businesses in Victoria look set to receive additional support payments from the state government, after entering the first day of a five-day snap lockdown this morning.
However, there are some businesses still waiting on the money promised last time the state was plunged into lockdown.
In a press conference today, Andrews announced a $200 million support package for businesses, with payments being automatically distributed to those who were eligible during the last lockdown.
He suggested payments could be made before the end of this lockdown, and businesses will receive a top-up of either $2000 or $3000.
