Podcast: Farmer's Inside Track
Episode: From America to Hertzogville: How JW is farming smarter
Description: In this episode, we head to the Free State to meet Johannes Willem (JW) Dercksen, who has been farming alongside his father in Hertzogville for the past four years. After gaining international experience working in the United States, JW returned home with a clear vision: to achieve maximum yields on minimum hectares while staying true to his philosophy of “back to basics.”JW shares insights into their current farming system, producing maize, soybeans, and sunflowers, and explains why building and repairing their own implements on-farm saves both time and money.
