Episode 17 - Paul Ryan and his family's inventions in the Farm Machinery space

Paul Ryan had a very interesting upbringing. You see, his dad, Austin, was one of the greatest Farm Machinery inventors and innovators we have seen in this country. 

So much so that Austin got an OAM for his services to the Broadacre Cropping industry.

The business was Ryan Farm Machinery, or RFM for short, which many of you will know. Paul explains what it was like growing up with an old man who thought outside the box. Someone whose mind was often elsewhere in inventor mode. Paul said he was often up at 3 am, and they would find him down in the workshop designing.

He did some brilliant, ahead-of-its-times stuff, which Paul relays in this interview.

Paul himself has continued the family tradition and is an inventor through his own business, Ryan NT (short for No-Till).

Ryan NT is a growing business that sells retrofitted Tynes, Discs, Guage and Press Wheels into the Australian Broadacre Cropping market. They are just starting to sell some decent volumes into other Cropping countries.

This is a fascinating story of a family who has achieved so much. I hope you enjoy. End of message.
