From a farming background, Janus has over 10 years' experience in animal health and production, with a proven track record of growing sales in his territories. Janus has sat on multiple Animal Feed Mill Association (AFMA) committees, including marketing, editorial and technical, so has a great understanding of the industry and the challenges faced by producers in the South of the continent.
