The Farmers
Club Newsletter
A newsletter for those who want to know more than next door.
Know more than next door
The Farmers Club is for Farmers who want more than just headlines.
It's for people who want to stay across what's happening in Agriculture, pick up ideas they can apply on-Farm and in business, connect with other good operators, and hear honest stories and opinions from Farmers who are living it every day.
Every morning (well, 6 mornings), we pull together the news, insights and conversations that matter most to Australian Agriculture and packaged up into one email. It's detailed enough to make you think, but short enough to read over your first coffee before the day gets away from you.
No clickbait. No noise. Just the stories, ideas and talking points that help you stay informed, challenge your thinking, and make better decisions on and off the farm.
It's one of the easiest ways to start your day a little sharper before you head out the gate. You'll come away knowing way more than next door.
What our subscribers are saying
"What I like about The Farmers Club is that we are challenged to think about issues which, at times, I raise amongst my friends and family. I am always learning things that are relevant to what I do, and I look forward to the Farmer responses."
"I love everything about it."
"TFC gets my mind active and thinking positively each morning."
"I hope you realise you are already a success and a big help to my business. I am no Grain, no Sheep, just cattle in central Queensland, but gee it's good to hear how other Australians are going every morning."
"It is a great start for the day to have a brief update of current thoughts in our ag circle and to read the feedback from subscribers on their thoughts as well."
"I gave up my subscription to the Stock Journal and took on Farmers Club in its place. Don't regret it at all."
"Your articles are always honest and positive, showing the good, the smart and the innovative in people."
"I am a rusted-on Farmers Club Newsletter reader. It's a must-read for me daily."
"I'm not on social media, and the sense of connectedness with other Farmers is reassuring."
"It's good reading, with new ideas and truthful farmer comments. I enjoy the funnies, and it is refreshing that they are not politically correct."
"Keep up the great work, love the newsletter and podcasts, find it much more informative than my Stock and Land and Weekly Times subscriptions."
"I love the funnies. They're often the only source of humour in my day."
"I also love the fact that you are so in touch with good values and have a great eye for doing what's right, and also a nose to smell out the constant BS that is being thrust upon all dinky-di Australians."
"I love getting up in the morning and reading a few short stories, generally ag related, and having a few chuckles too."
"I thoroughly enjoyed your podcast with John! We have always been positive about Agriculture in Australia and with four sons keen to come back to Farming we need to stay that way."
"The Farmers Club Newsletter was the only email I read from top to bottom."
"There are moments where an article or snippet makes you think, well, that's the $44 worth of information paid for this month. The podcast is very good with some really interesting people."
"Really love the newsletter, mate. Doing a great job. It certainly has got me thinking differently, and I enjoy the wide range of topics."
"I honestly believe a real turn is coming — or maybe that is just hope, but we have to have that. And I think the platform will become more of a voice for people that don't feel heard, especially for those in the Ag space."
"Not just a number at The Farmers Club."
"Your club also has the same outcome, believe it or not. A bit of entertainment in this form doesn't cost much. But heals the soul."
"I found them refreshing instead of listening to the radio of doom and gloom. We need more positive stories like these around."
"Keep letting the Farmers have a voice. I love reading the comments from others. It gives me comfort knowing there are others out there with similar views."
"It is a morning ritual now to read the Farmers Club Newsletter. Thanks for all your tireless work for the broader Agricultural Community."
"I really rate your emails — they are very insightful and helpful for people in Ag. I feel they give people much-needed clarity, especially when people can be under pressure and decision-making effectiveness can drop away."
"I see a constant thread of passion for ag permeating through your newsletter."
"I read it having breaky each morning."
"It's always thought-provoking, and I'm always learning something. One of the highlights this year was our trip to Nigel Kerins."
"I am a 73-year-young whole-of-life farmer. I feel they give people much-needed clarity, especially when people can be under pressure and decision-making effectiveness can drop away."
"Love the podcasts, keep them coming so we don't have to listen to the ABC."
"Just been sitting on the tractor sowing and listening to your podcast. Found them refreshing instead of listening to the radio of doom and gloom. We need more positive stories like these around."
"The Farmers Club is the first thing I read every morning. Ending with the funnies is great, I always get a laugh from these."
"Very good newsletter this morning, packed full of very interesting stuff. There is a bit going on in ag at the moment."
"I always look forward to being educated, informed and entertained by The Farmers Club."
"Keep up the good work with The Farmers Club Dwain. It continues to evolve and is my go-to first thing in the morning with coffee."
"The Farmers Club is a great idea, I look forward to it every morning."
Written by a Farmer, For Farmers
Meet Dwain Duxson
I think what qualifies Dwain to write about Farming is that he was one. That helps. He grew up on a 7000-acre mixed Farm at Marnoo, Victoria, and spent the first 15 years of his working life co-managing the joint.
That got him to age 35, and since then things have changed. He, his wife Paula and kids drove out the gate. Nothing sinister, they just wanted a change.
Upon relocation, he then started the Marketplace business called Farm Tender. A place where Farmers and Ag people can buy and sell stuff. Somewhere in there he also co-founded DelayPay.
But then it starts getting interesting….
At the age of 54, he turned his hand to writing for a living, and started this newsletter.
This (according to him) is his legacy piece; it’s what he loves doing, it’s how he earns a quid, and it's how he serves others.
And he’s available anytime for a chat. Call or text him on 0427 011 900. Or drop him an email on [email protected].

The Business of Farming
with Nigel Kerin
One of the best business heads in farming. The Yeoval farmer on knowing your numbers, backing yourself and why farmers can't afford to be average anymore. One listener has played it 20 times.
The Power of a Positive Attitude
with John Carter
The founder of the Wallaloo Park Merino stud on building one of Australia's most influential studs, and why attitude drives it all. Listeners called this one a ripper.
The Barry Clark Story
with Barry Clark
On the surface, an Aussie bloke having a crack. Underneath, real business acumen, sharp instincts and a lifetime of backing himself. Listeners reckon Netflix should buy the plane story.
