TriCal Australia 
Meet Jerome Bateup, one of the employees of TriCal Australia.
Jerome has been with the company for two years as a Soil Fumigator based out of Bayswater, Victoria, where he is responsible for delivering and applying soil fumigants. Throughout his time with TriCal Australia, Jerome has developed professionally in many ways, including learning from experienced fumigators how to safely handle and manage products, monitor and maintain gas systems during application, and better understand correct soil preparation and local weather conditions in relation to soil suitability and application timing.
His day-to-day work varies from delivering products to customers, receiving, storing and dispatching goods from the yard, and travelling locally or interstate to conduct applications.
According to Jerome, the best part of his job is working alongside experienced people, giving him confidence in achieving great results for customers. One thing he wishes others understood about his role is the importance of soil health management.
When Jerome is not working, he enjoys spending time with his partner and one-year-old son, reading, running, and watching sports. This year, the thing he is looking forward to most is marrying his partner.
Jerome is just one of the many people who help keep TriCal Australia running every day. Thanks to Jerome, and many others like him, TriCal Australia continues supporting growers with science-based soil solutions that help promote healthy soil and long-term productivity.
