Andrew Powne is the General Manager of Cameron Pastoral Company (CPC), a mixed farming and grazing enterprise based at Lundavra in Queensland’s Goondiwindi region. Originally from Bollon in southwest Queensland, Andrew has over 15 years’ experience in agriculture and currently leads CPC’s dryland cropping and cattle operations. His role focuses on strategic planning, risk management, and building a skilled team committed to sustainable, resilient farming systems.
Andrew began his career as a farmhand and machinery operator on the Jimbour flood plain before completing a Diploma of Agribusiness at Marcus Oldham College. He then held farm management roles across Victoria, Western Australia and New South Wales, gaining a deep understanding of large-scale, diverse farming systems across Australia.
Andrew is excited to join the 2025 AgriEmpower Scholarship cohort and attend the AgXchange conference, where he looks forward to connecting with like-minded leaders and gaining insights to support his vision of building a regenerative, carbon-positive supply chain at CPC, driven by innovation and collaboration
