Ben Clift and Johanna Kempff

The NSW sugar industry has been a thriving agricultural sector in the Northern Rivers for over 150 years.

Third generation cane farmer Ben and his wife Johanna run a mixed farming operation at South Gundurimbah in the Richmond Valley.

Alongside 190 hectares of sugarcane, the Clift’s grow soybean, Pecans, raise cattle and allocated land for nature conservation.
