027 221 2234 grantl@advanceag.co.nz

Grant has been immersed in farming and agriculture his entire life, with extensive experience across both on- and off-farm roles. He has leased and owned sheep and beef properties in Western Southland and has worked in positions including farm manager, dairy farm assistant, fencing contractor, and shepherd.

Grant was employed with CRT/Farmlands, initially as a storeperson before progressing to a Technical Field Officer role. During this time, he serviced a broad range of clients across the Western Southland region, offering advice and support across dairy, sheep and beef, and deer systems.

Since 2019, Grant has worked as a Technical Field Consultant with AB Lime Limited. In this role, he supported a diverse client base throughout Southland and Otago—including conventional and organic dairy farms, sheep and beef operations, arable farms, orchards, and lifestyle blocks. His work included soil testing and analysis, nutrient recommendations, and on-farm sales and agronomic advice. He also collaborates closely with transport providers, agricultural groups, and rural professionals to deliver tailored, practical solutions.

Now based in Riverton with his partner Janice, Grant enjoys all aspects of agricultural life and remains passionate about supporting Southland farmers. Outside of work, he spends his time cycling, fishing, hunting, and enjoying life with family.
