Farming is in Liam’s blood, born and raised a fifth-generation farmer on his family’s mixed grazing and cropping property north of Ballarat, in Central Victoria. It was here his passion for agriculture and early practical farming knowledge was gained. Liam studied agriculture, awarded a Bachelor of Agricultural Science (Hons) at the University of Melbourne and later a Graduate Diploma in Applied Finance and Investment, FINSIA.

He benefits from 25 years’ experience working across applied agricultural research, agronomy, farm management consultancy, farming on personal account and leading private investment into Australian agriculture.

Convinced that Australian agriculture offered high growth and transformational investment opportunities, capable of delivering both compelling investment returns and positive outcomes in rural and regional communities, Liam founded GO.FARM in 2013.

His vision for transforming Australian agriculture, supported by a talented and growing team, has already translated into the development and management of $1.1B worth of agricultural assets. Furthermore, GO.FARM’S track record has proven Liam’s original thesis correct – great returns are possible whilst delivering good, too.

GO.FARM’s growth and success is both a function of its Value Creation Model, Liam’s ability to find great people and his willingness to give them big things to do.

He believes in the power of learning, applying critical and independent thought, solving problems not admiring them and acting with courage and urgency.

These beliefs inform the culture of GO.FARM. They are also evidenced through action – working alongside Professor Jim Pratley, Liam co-created, championed and sponsored the Charles Sturt University AGcessibility First Nations Scholarship and the AGcessibility Kickstart Scholarship. GO.FARM, The Anthony Costa Foundation and Australian Farming Services (50% owned by GO.FARM) have collectively committed $1.3M to create opportunities for students to access agricultural and horticultural education and open pathways to careers in agriculture and horticulture

Liam has established the guiding principles for GO.FARM’s Responsible Agriculture, which are:

• Preserve and enhance the productive capacity of the land through world class land and water management.
• Inspire and develop a team of high-performing, happy and healthy people to be their best.
• Have a positive and meaningful impact on communities where we invest, live and work.
• Champion safe working environments, which prioritise the physical and mental wellbeing of the team.

Liam and GO.FARM, is committed to deliver the capital and innovation solutions needed to propel growth in Australian agriculture.
