Senior🎓
Top SchoolRichard Baxter is a seasoned dairy technical advisor with over 17 years of hands-on experience supporting dairy operations in Southern Natal, having stayed through Nutrex’s acquisition by De Heus. He combines deep practical farm management—spanning dairy, beef, and crop systems—with advisory expertise in feed and quality control developed since the early 1990s. Richard’s career includes managing seasonal pasture-based herds and running mixed-family farms, giving him a strong operational perspective that informs pragmatic, farm-ready recommendations. Based in South Africa, he blends technical knowledge from Cedara Agricultural College with decades of field experience to optimize herd performance and feed strategies. Less obvious but valuable: his long tenure through organizational change demonstrates adaptability and a talent for translating corporate resources into tangible on-farm improvements.
