Hamish's Heroes Episode 6: Ben Pratt

At 30 years old, Ben took a full 180-degree turn to take over his family farm and hasn't looked back since.

Ben Pratt is a 4th generation farmer from Apiti who brings a unique, modern approach to farming and life.

Ben was 30 when he quit the accounting world to take over the family farm and over the last 20 years, he and his father Ross have continued to grow the Poll Dorset Stud, the country's number one PD stud.

Their annual sale will be held in Feilding in early December.

Watch the full chat between Hamish McKay and Ben Pratt above as they discuss farming, Poll Dorset studs and everything in between.
