September 8, 2026<\/strong><\/p>\n

Former Manyung farmer and businessman Ian Campbell, 56, and his daughter Hannah, 23, have been confirmed as the victims of Monday’s light aircraft crash south of Brisbane.<\/p>\n

The Beechcraft Bonanza took off from Archerfield Airport just before 11:00am but crashed seven minutes later on a property on Musch Road at Stockleigh, sparking a large grass fire.<\/p>\n

Mr Campbell and his wife Jane founded Barambah Organics almost 30 years ago, a dairy company based initially around the couple’s Spring Creek farm at Manyung, near Murgon.<\/p>\n

The fourth-generation family farm gained organic status in 1999 and the couple began producing organic milk, yoghurt and cheese soon afterwards.<\/p>\n

Their award-winning products led to a rapid expansion of the brand and the Barambah Organics business.<\/p>\n

In 2020, the couple sold all but a minority stake but remained very active in farming, with interests in properties across Queensland and NSW.<\/p>\n

The same year, they launched Ma\u00f1ana Pastoral, raising grass-fed lamb and beef on properties near Goondiwindi and St George.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
