New television pilot to tell stories of WA's South West farmers on screen

Farmer Mitchell East is used to playing with passionfruit, not plastic toys, on his farm in Manjimup in the South West of Western Australia. "Although we are a small pocket of the world, we want to show on our screens how farmers are dealing with the constant challenges and changes in our industry," Mr East said. "I went from thinking about the idea in my tractor to taking it to the Southern Forest Food Council board room," Mr East said. "What I've seen working with farmers in the regions, there's this real frustration that these stories are just staying in the regional echo chamber," Ms Bignell said. "I didn't come from your usual agricultural farming background, it's just something that I fell into," Mr Cernotta said.
