Regenerative Cropping Spiralling Upwards
Regenerative Cropping Spiralling Upwards Regenerative agriculture is sometimes dismissed as meaning all things to all people, but to David McLean from Resource Consulting Services (RCS) the answer is clear. “Regenerative agriculture is about the outcomes you achieve, not the inputs you use.” To achieve regenerative outcomes, you need to adopt ...

RCS - Resource Consulting Services
We genuinely care about the well-being of our clients.
Since 1985 we have worked with clients to see our vision for agriculture become a reality. RCS exists purely to see happy people running productive, profitable businesses using regenerative management practices that leave the land in a better condition than we started.
We work closely with you to help you through the challenges that implementing change can bring. It is the one thing to point out to you that you have a problem or need to improve in a particular area; it is another to be at your side leading and coaching you through the process.
That is the RCS difference.
We work closely with you to understand the complexity of your individual circumstance and work with you to develop a process to implement improvement that is customised to your unique situation and your ability to handle change.
We are committed to developing long-term relationships. We are renowned for our follow up support and become a “part” of most families and management teams we work with. RCS is now starting to work with a large number of 2nd and even 3rd generation clients!
RCS has the best clients! We also have a team of experienced and passionate people working across Australia. All of our key delivery people started as RCS clients! It is safe to say we can honestly empathise with you as we do our best to understand your unique circumstances.
If you didn’t get amazing value out of working with RCS, we wouldn’t still be here!
Awesome to be a part of the biggest field day hosted by the SA Arid Lands Landscape Board in Port Augusta. Nic Kentish (RCS) snapped here with Gordon Litchfield from Wilpoorinna Station, gathered with close to 200 pastoralists.
Regenerative agriculture is about the outcomes you achieve, not the inputs you use. Fundamentally you need to have your agricultural systems spiraling up towards improved biodiversity and health, rather than spiraling down towards degradation. If you can demonstrate that your soil carbon is increasing or that you're building natural capital, you've got evidence that your farm is regenerating 🌱.

VALE David Hanlon.
A message from Terry McCosker, on invitation of David’s partner Jill Rigney.
David Hanlon passed away peacefully on Nov 22nd in hospital after a long battle with a rare form of Leukemia. In typical David form, he faced his disease with humour and his intellectual capacity to understand the science and question his doctors. He did not fear passing, but like all of us, would have liked more time to do more with Jill and his friends and continue to help and lead others.
David and I founded RCS in March 1985 in Darwin, based on nothing more than an understanding that our skills were complimentary. RCS is an achievement of which he was very proud. I looked up to him for his skills, contacts and knowledge, not to mention his capacity to consume books. We both moved to Queensland in 1990 to change the course of history for RCS.
While he studied Ag Science initially, for a large part of his career he was a very talented agricultural economist. In this capacity he worked across many industries and countries and was a favoured consultant with the Asian Development Bank. Prior to that he had a long association with indigenous communities in Queensland and the NT.
In the last 15 years, together with Jill, he found his real niche and passion in practicing and teaching about mindset and attitude. He and Jill established “The Right Mind” as they transitioned out of RCS and developed a range of stand out programs such as “The Power of Engagement” and their life changing 'Rural Leaders Bootcamp". Even while ill, he continued to read and innovate and develop ways of operating on-line during Covid restrictions.
Pam, Kelly and I were fortunate to have lunch with David and Jill only two months ago, while he was in remission. It is a memory we will cherish. Our sympathies go out to Jill, Seb and all his friends.
David, you had an impact on this little planet and you will be missed.
