Martin has been the chairman of the Derby
Farmers’ Union, which has 40 members, for
the past four years. They have two auctions
per month. He is also a member of the Koster
Study Group of 25 members. But this is not
the end. He wants to expand his farming
operations to 800 hectares, increase his herd
to 300 head of cattle and diversify into chick-

electric 12V rechargeable 16-litre rucksack
sprayers with 5 different nozzles into South
Africa, which ensure continuous and accurate
spraying.
It is not difficult to understand why he is
so involved - his mother Pam is the chairman
of the Northwest Women’s Agricultural Union.
He also describes his wife Liza as an integral
part of the farm because she does the book-
keeping and keeps a level head.
When you visit Derby again, know that
Martin's hand was in the Derby Fuel Station
as well. You will also know where you can find
real Derby boerewors.

What will little MJ (6) and Nina (4) farm
with? Who knows... with tobacco, citrus and
crop farming in previous generations, they
may just decide on something else. Keep up
the good work Martin!
