Recorded live at the annual 3R Beef Pre Bull Sale Dinner, this special episode of The AgriCoach Wealth & Wisdom Podcast captures a fireside chat with one of Australian agriculture’s most influential leaders.

Ben Law sits down with Garry Edwards — Chair of Cattle Australia and Managing Director of AAM Investment Group — to unpack the journey from the paddock to building a $1 billion diversified agribusiness spanning beef, lamb, poultry, cropping, and timber.

From his early days in agriculture to steering one of the most significant ag portfolios in the country, Garry shares the mindset shifts and strategic decisions that shaped his success. He talks candidly about why he built a cross-commodity model, the lessons learned from managing risk in volatile markets, and how trade shocks and geopolitics can flip the industry overnight.

But this isn’t just about billion-dollar businesses. Garry explains why the principles that underpin AAM’s growth — spotting opportunities, managing uncertainty, and playing the long game — matter for every farming family. Whether you’re looking to strengthen your operation, prepare the next generation, or understand the global forces shaping agriculture, this conversation is packed with takeaways you can put into practice.

A big thanks to Geoff, Tony, and the entire 3R Beef team for hosting the dinner and creating the space for conversations like this — moments that remind us of the power of community, connection, and shared wisdom in agriculture.

At its heart, this episode is about one thing: how to future-proof your family and your business in an industry that never stands still.
