"Someone handed us a brochure about doing science outdoors, so I enrolled in agriculture straight away, having never really been on a farm." After graduating, Dr Robertson was sent to Merredin as a wheat and sheep adviser before being awarded a coveted Rhodes scholarship. "I went to Oxford in 1971 for my doctorate in plant physiology for three years," he said.
