Andrew calls it his electric dream farm and it is fulfilling his dreams in farming, solar energy and even a pioneering electric car.

I frequently reach out to the electric vehicle community to share stories and ideas for upcoming articles. Andrew intrigued me when he shared a photo of his Nissan Leaf towing a trailerload of tomatoes in answer to my request for ideas abouteclecticAndrew towing tomatoes with his Nissan LEAF on his farm.

These beds help to keep Andrew’s plants out of the wetness during Queensland’s flooding months of January, February, and March. When he bought the farm in 1996, Andrew cleared part of the pine plantation and planted Australian native cabinet trees. Unfortunately, most of these tree saplings died a couple of years later in the floods.

His diesel tractor is playing up, and so the farm looks like it could do with a haircut. Andrew is looking forward to the time when tractors, slashers, and zero-turn lawnmowers can be powered by one battery that can be swapped out, recharged from his solar, and swapped back in. He did try to modify his mower, but the experiment is ongoing.
