@georgie_troup Best wishes. You’ve got this 💪

Bit of an update for my adoring fans 🤣 or just those farmers who usually want some oaty advice 😜 I’m still here, happy to chat as always. Just on leave for the remainder of the year while I navigate all things cancer treatment offers. Today that’s ☢️ for bone scan 👍

At the @CitrusAustralia conference learning about industry- crippling diseases and pests overseas and the first two speakers from the US say they weren’t inspected by biosecurity at the airport on arrival 🤯 @DAFFgov

@WheatWatcher @Meat_Watcher You had me fooled. To be fair though, I was committed to sampling the food and drinks- my focus was elsewhere

@Meat_Watcher I remember that time when we did get along; we were probably just playing nice because @Simone_Smith04 was with us.

On this day popped up in my feed ⁦@WheatWatcher⁩. Back in the day when we enjoyed each other’s company..

@Warwick_Long @RPCVic Well done. My fav Country Hour. Still listening, just from across the border.

Look awards aren’t usually my thing but I’m really proud that the little Country Hour team that has a specialist topic and covers a lot of k’s is up for the @RPCVic’s biggest award.

Asking the hard questions, about a national fodder stocktake @Warwick_Long @eden_hynninen Will we ever see it? It’s been a topic of discussion for years and years

Best in the business

@Warwick_Long Nearly 50mm during the past two days at Eight Mile Creek, super wet- water lying everywhere.

Any rain to report #raintwitter? How much did you get?

This looks familiar…. @Meat_Watcher @WheatWatcher #FoodFutures23

Love Haydn Sales’ reference to Ag requiring “Patient capital”. He’s clear it’s not bank debt, it’s investment that doesn’t require a dividend, or only a small dividend. It also reinvests in the business. He believes foreign investment can deliver this #foodfutures23

@stationmum101 Travelling the country and calling myself an Ag story teller is finally making sense

Can I add - the quality of the story telling is key. Just slapping a few pictures up on a Facebook page or Insta account is not enough. Anyway if you want help doing it right… I’m available.

Quality and story telling about Australian Ag is the key to extracting a premium from the market, according to ANZ regional executive Jeffery Schrale #foodfutures23

@BiscuitCensus lovely surprise at the William MacIntosh Motor Lodge.

@BiscuitCensus pleasant discovery at the Highlander Motor Inn. This is proving my theory about exceptional biscuit availability in QLD.

@clint_jasper @WheatWatcher @AgWatchers @RPCVic @hoibergsheroes @MurrayWatt @afsnsw @Warwick_Long @KathSully @Meat_Watcher I need to hear this story….@WheatWatcher @Meat_Watcher ??? Sounds like your presentation went well

@WheatWatcher @AgWatchers @RPCVic @hoibergsheroes @MurrayWatt @afsnsw @Warwick_Long @KathSully @Meat_Watcher was still recovering from seeing my 10-year old headshot on a big screen in a room full of ppl.

Some agriculture participants were recognised last night for their services to the industry at the first @RPCVic / Agribusiness Australia event of 2023. @clint_jasper @WheatWatcher @hoibergsheroes
