Episode 81: The drive to do it right in farming & politics with Mic Fels

Join us for a conversation with Mic Fels, an Esperance grain grower, engineer, former federal candidate, and owner of the business i-paddock. Frustrated by policy, compliance, and political drift, Mic moved from the paddock into politics. Mic shares what he’s seen firsthand as a medium-sized business owner: rising regulatory pressure, shrinking opportunities, and the challenges facing small businesses and farms that are quietly closing their doors. He also explains the impact of carbon accounting rules on agriculture, showing how farmers are penalised even while delivering the bulk of Australia’s emissions reductions. We discuss the BOOT test, the hidden cost of compliance, and what it really takes to keep a business running.   Disclaimer The information provided in this podcast is general in nature and does not in any way constitute financial, investment, accounting, tax, or legal advice.
