Grain SA’s Phahama Grain Phakama (PGP) hosted the inaugural Ukukhula Conference at Nampo Park in Bothaville, Free State on 2 October 2025, creating a platform for grain and livestock farmers to engage on critical issues of farmer development, transformation, and collaboration within the sector.
African Farming caught up with Duncan Serapelwane, Bonsmara stud breeder from the North West province, who shared insights on livestock integration as a resilience strategy, highlighting how well-managed herds can diversify income and strengthen sustainability on grain farms.
