Meet Carissa Horsey, Graduate Agronomist, Goondiwindi. Carissa grew up in Ipswich but always loved going to visit the country cousins in Forest Hill. When Carissa first left school she wanted to go out west and be a Jillaroo but was converted to cropping when she worked on her uncle’s farm. Carissa completed a cert 3 & 4 in Agriculture and worked as an irrigation farmhand in Mungindi for a couple of years growing cotton, chickpeas and wheat before going back to studying at Uni. After completing a Bachelor of Agricultural Science with honours, she was working in a research job with rice in Jerilderie in the Riverina but was hoping for a greater variety of crops. Carissa is excited to be starting a career as an Agronomist with McGregor Gourlay because it is a challenging and rewarding career where there are always opportunities to learn and gain more skills. #nextgenag #mcgregorgourlay
About us
McGregor Gourlay’s origins go all the way back to 1897, with the establishment of JA McGregor & Co Stock and Station agents in Warialda NSW. Over the decades JA McGregor & Co evolved to specialise in crop inputs, animal health and farm merchandise, establishing a second location in Croppa Creek NSW in the late 1970’s and becoming a trusted supply partner to farmers in the region. In 1987 JA McGregor & Co partnered with a group of local cotton industry professionals to establish McGregor Gourlay Agricultural Services in Moree NSW. The business grew quickly and established a second branch in Goondiwindi QLD within a few years, and then in 1998 McGregor Gourlay and JA McGregor came together as one to become a single entity with 4 locations in Moree, Goondiwindi, Croppa Creek and Warialda. The business has since continued to expand to become one of the most dynamic privately owned rural services companies in Australia, employing over 170 staff in 17 branches located across North West NSW, the NSW Northern Rivers, and the Southern QLD Border Rivers and Darling Downs regions. Today’s business offers a wide range of supply to our customers including agricultural chemicals, fertiliser, seed, animal health, rural merchandise and water equipment. We service a wide variety of broadacre, irrigated and tropical cropping programs, with dedicated agronomy services to help you get the best out of your farming operation. McGregor Gourlay calls upon a proud tradition of over 127 years of service to agriculture through some of the best and toughest of times. Our team has knowledge and experience that is second to none, with enduring customer partnerships that often span generations. Great people are what has made McGregor Gourlay the business we are today. And even though we’ve been around a while, we’re only just getting started.
