The business is now investing $3m in new enclosed storage facilities in Kapunda to provide additional capacity for regional growers and greater crop rotation opportunities to supply straw and hay for export markets вЂ“ building resilience against future droughts. JT Johnson has expanded into Horsham and Dooen in Victoria and has a cattle feedlot in Dublin, South Australia that is currently undergoing expansion to increase capacity from 5,000 head to 10,000. This fourth-generation family-owned stockfeed business is KapundaвЂ™s largest industry, supplying Australia, the Middle East and Southeast Asia, and employing more than 100 people in the town.

Its main office is based in the carefully restored and modernised former Kapunda show pavilion with 140-year-old shiraz grape vines growing outside. The townвЂ™s largest employer, JT Johnson and Sons, is also keen to pay homage to the townвЂ™s agricultural history. There are new plans afoot to further celebrate the regionвЂ™s agricultural history with a new dedicated DroverвЂ™s Encounter modern museum to complement 16 agri-style murals already in the town. вЂњMy Dad was groundsman at the school where the Kidman family home is now and is still driving the school bus, and my older brother worked at the school and his office was in what was one of the old bathrooms in the Kidman house.вЂќ вЂњOne of my great grandmothers used to work in the Kidman home that is now part of the school,вЂќ she says.
