Thanks team @GrainGrowersLtd - it’s been an honour and privilege to work Aussie grain farmers!
Today, we bid farewell & best wishes to outgoing CEO @davejmck. Dave has significantly shaped GrainGrowers during his time and leaves the organisation in the best position to represent growers around Australia. We look forward to seeing where Dave's future takes him!

Good call @pete_arkle @NSWFarmers - same frustration on a flight for me this week. Surely our national carrier @Qantas could show a bit more spirit of Australia and support Aussie farmers in their snacks
Hi @Qantas I don’t reckon it’s the spirit of Australia to serve #kiwi #cheeseandcrackers! The #P&L is important, but so is backing the #ausag #aussiefamilyfarms who kept us fed through #COVID. Please #buylocal #australianmade! @AusDairyFarmers @NationalFarmers @NSWFarmers

GrainGrowers continues to call on government for assurances that the Fuel Tax Credit Scheme is maintained to ensure our farmers continue to produce sustainable, clean, and nutritious grain. Good reasons why this is critical 👉 https://t.co/z2Fzu6r3vV

I think a key point missed here is that the @ABSStats figures released this week were for the 2020 winter crop! While a great result, some serious work needs to be done getting Australia’s official ag datasets up to speed @MurrayWatt
It’s been a good year for Aussie farmers with record breaking yields and production for many broadacre crops such as wheat, barley and canola. This is fantastic news and tells us what we already knew about our farming industry – it remains a backbone of the Australian economy.

Maintaining confidence in our $80 billion agriculture industry is too important to risk. The Senate inquiry into foot and mouth disease and varroa mite is in addition to the strongest biosecurity response in Australia's history from the Albanese Government. #auspol #agchatoz

An important step forward in making sure our biosecurity system continues to modernise and is up to the increasing challenges facing our Ag sector and broader Australian environment- well done @SenRaffCiccone

As I mentioned a few days ago, if you or anyone you know is heading to Bali or elsewhere in Indonesia, please help them understand the importance of self-declaring any items that may be carrying FMD while abroad when they return to Australia.
