In this episode, I reflect on my recent experiences at the AgForce conference in Brisbane, including a powerful presentation from Wayne Bennett, the legendary NRL coach.

The farmer lobby group says the parties reached an agreement not to pursue their court case over carbon capture and storage in the Great Artesian Basin. 

Carbon, industry advocacy and greater need for education in agriculture came into focus during Weekly Grill podcast host, Kerry's Lonergan's lengthy chat this week with large scale Queensland beef producer MDH's Julie McDonald.   Julie wears many hats within the family-owned MDH cattle business. In addition to providing an update on MDH's cattle operations spread across 14 properties in North, Central and southern Queensland totalling some 3.4 million hectares, she shares her thoughts on carbon – saying while its represents an opportunity for the industry, there is still a lot of work to be done. Julie said it was important for the industry to have government understanding of the difference between carbon and methane. Carbon and the associated impositions on the beef industry needed to be carefully thought out, and agriculture needs to be weary that it is not simply burdened by additional costs. MDH is using AgForce's carbon assessment tool AgCare, and is very happy with it, she says in this week's Weekly Grill.   The Weekly Grill is brought to readers and listeners by Elders and Rhinogard by Zoetis.

Georgie Somerset is a rural industry leader and a trailblazer. While a lot of us know her as the president of AgForce, and her many board roles including the ABC, and the National Farmers Federation, it's what she did decades ago that I've loved digging up. Georgie is one of the pioneers of agri-tourism. Growing up the land, she was just 17 when she set up a farm stay business on her family farm, later establishing national farm tourism body. After working in the city for a while, she eventually moved to her husband's farm, taking her fax machine with her, and used it to run her business, working remotely in the 80s and 90s well before Covid made it cool! Georgie has raised three kids on the land  who are now all grown up, and she takes us through how she's managed it all. This is her story.Book your stay now at www.staydubbo.com.au or contact Ange at ange@staydubbo.com.au or 0428 470 657.Special Motherland discounts:Short stays < 7 nights use MOTHERLAND10 (10% off)Long Stays > 7+ nights use MOTHERLANDBABIES ($100 OFF YOUR STAY)https://www.instagram.com/motherlandaustralia

John Kuhlmann is Co-founder and President of Heartland Logistics Group, LLC. Headquartered out of Lenexa, Kansas. After attending Kansas State University, John started his career with C.H. Robinson (CHR) where he spent 8 years learning the transportation and logistics industry. In 2015, taking his knowledge from CHR he left and went to Agforce Transport Services, where he spent 5 more years leading a sales team and in 2019, started a full-scale agricultural logistics division. It was during this time that he saw there was a need for more focused transportation and logistics solutions specific to the agriculture industry. Most companies like CHR and Agforce primarily operate on the distribution side of the supply chain. He saw a need to build out a complimentary solution that would give them a competitive advantage.In 2020, during the global pandemic with worldwide shutdowns, John and his business partner, Scott Erickson, took the leap of faith and started their own company to bridge the gap they saw in the industry. Heartland Logistics Group, LLC was created as a full service 3PL with the idea to build a total supply chain solution while delivering the best experience to customers, carriers, and employees. Founded in faith the company grew from 1 employee to 24 employees by the end of its first year, servicing 190 clients, and moving 10,000 shipments: generating over $20 million in revenue. In its second year, Heartland successfully supported over 240 clients, grew to 45 team members, 29,000 shipments, and over $52 million generated in revenue.  Website: https://shiphlg.com/IG: https://www.instagram.com/jkuhl1/ Connect and tag me at:https://www.instagram.com/realangelabradford/You can subscribe to my YouTube Channel herehttps://www.youtube.com/channel/UCDU9L55higX03TQgq1IT_qQFeel free to leave a review on all major platforms to help get the word out and change more lives!

Kaum mehr als ein Drittel der deutschen Lohnunternehmen nutzt bisher eine professionelle Betriebsmanagementsoftware - die anderen zwei Drittel verschenken damit viel Geld. Zu dieser Einschätzung kommt jedenfalls Frank Anderssohn, Geschäftsführer des auf Lohnunternehmen spezialisierten Software-Anbieters AgForce. Im LU-Talk des Monats Juli spricht er darüber, warum ein Software-Tool wie AgForce so wichtig für den Betriebserfolg ist. Und er erläutert anhand verschiedener Beispiele, welcher vielfältige finanzielle Nutzen sich daraus ergibt. Eine erhebliche Zeitersparnis im Büro ist dabei nur ein Aspekt. Allein schon bei der Zeit- und Auftragserfassung muss in der „Papierwirtschaft“ alles doppelt und dreifach angepackt und erfasst werden, was unglaublich viel Zeit frisst. Noch wichtiger ist es jedoch, alle relevanten Betriebsdaten in Echtzeit verfügbar zu haben und quasi auf Mausklick die volle Kostentransparenz zu bekommen. Denn wer dabei nicht durchblickt, kann auch nicht die richtigen Entscheidungen treffen – wie zum Beispiel bei der Preisberechnung, der Auftragsnachberechnung oder anstehenden Maschineninvestitionen. Erlöskurve nach oben drehen Wer etwa durch die richtige Erfassung und Analyse den Anteil seiner an Kunden verkauften Stunden von 45 auf 55% steigern kann, dreht die Erlöskurve steil nach oben. Und wer durch die Analyse der Unterhaltskosten entdeckt, dass die Lieblingsmarke ein Groschengrab ist und er statt dessen den Lieferanten wechseln sollte, hat wirtschaftlich alles richtig gemacht. Das alles ist natürlich schnell gesagt. Allein schon der Begriff „Betriebsmanagementsoftware“ ist sperrig und eher abschreckend. Auch die Installation funktioniert nicht im Vorbeilaufen und führt nicht selten auch dazu, dass gewohnte Abläufe im Büro geändert werden müssen. Geld kostet das Ganze auch noch. Und doch lohnt sich der Schritt für sehr viele Betriebe, nicht nur für die vermeintlich großen. Denn der wirtschaftliche Nutzen überwiegt den Aufwand um ein Vielfaches.
