Mac McArthur

Senior Agricultural Advisor

Trained as an agricultural scientist specialising in extension and farm management, I have held senior management roles in two Australian Departments of Agriculture. My career has been primarily associated with the sheep, beef cattle and grazing industries and I have a particular interest in the genetic improvement of livestock.

I have had experience working as a stockman/shepherd, managing properties and as an agricultural business consultant in both New Zealand and Australia.

My role is to lead and work closely with the dedicated and professional team of DOA staff to ensure that the Department’s clients (farmers and others) receive the advice and support they require to make their businesses as profitable as possible. Also to encourage the adoption of agricultural management practices and technologies to improve the economic viability of Falkland Island farms.
