BEDNAR: How did you get into farming – agricultural machines sector?
Nicholas Lundy: I grew up on my Family’s Arable, livestock and Vegetable farm. And started from a very young age operating and fixing machines. After completing school I studied Agricultural Management at University.
BEDNAR: What is your experience with agriculture?
Nicholas Lundy: After University I travelled the world working on different farming operations from Broad Acre farming in Australia to intensive Fruit production in the UK. This gave me a chance to experience a huge array of different systems, Whether it was centre pivot, flood or drip irrigation. No till wheat planting or table top growing of Strawberrys.
For The last 18 years I have managed both small private farming operations to some of the world’s largest corporate farming operations in New Zealand, Australia, USA, South and Central Asia and understand the pressures faced by primary producers and the key importantance of having the right tools to complete an operation at the optimum time.
BEDNAR: What are your goals in your work and how did you get to the BEDNAR brand?
Nicholas Lundy: I first discovery the Bednar brand when I was looking for a better style and quality interrow cultivator for our cotton crop in Uzbekistan. With help from our local dealer and the Bednar group we were able to design, Manufacture and field test a machine in an incredibly short time which led to the birth of the Cotton master range of cultivators. My Goal is to deliver a quality machine to our clients here in Australia that helps increase Yield and efficiency in their operations.
