EWEN BEATON
KIOMA MANAGER
Background
Ewen grew up in rural Scotland in a family of butchers and farmers. After school, he attended Oatridge Agricultural College leading to an Agricultural Engineering apprenticeship and successful trade career for the next 10 years with the same company.
With a thirst for adventure Ewen travelled to Australia in 1997, for a one year working holiday… and never went home.
Upon arrival in Australia Ewen worked on a broadacre cropping farm in WA, then moved east to a mixed farming property at Coonabarabran in the Central district of NSW. In 2004 Ewen joined JH Fairfax & Son at Kioma as Cropping Overseer, progressing to Cropping Manager and Property Manager in 2021.
What is your passion in the industry?
Ewen has a passion for regenerative agriculture, believing that we have a social responsibility to encourage the next generation to look at agriculture as a career option and to encourage our existing staff to develop their skills.
What makes you get out of bed every day?
Leading a happy, productive team gets Ewen going. He also has a passion for soil biology and aims to learn something new every day.
“I am grateful to be part of a forward-thinking, supportive, organisation that is committed to regenerative practices and caring for its people”.
Ewen’s wife Sal assists with the farm administration. They have two young adult / teenage daughters, Piper and Holly.
