In an increasingly noisy world, how can ag speak with a unified, consistent voice?The changing dynamics of agricultural advocacy in Australia has caught our attention, and we're keen to explore whether industry representation is still 'fit for purpose' in a rapidly shifting political and social landscape. With around 270 farm advocacy bodies in Australia with a combined annual spend of $400-600 million, there's no shortage of voices sticking up for ag.  But how effective are they in delivering genuine policy solutions to Government?To open up this conversation, Oli is joined by Katie McRobert, Executive Director at the Australian Farm Institute, and Tyson Cattle, a rural journalist-turned-Nuffield Scholar, currently exploring how ag advocacy is done around the world and what Australia could be doing better.TakeawaysAdvocacy in agriculture is fragmented and there's a disconnect between what's being said and what's being heardEffective advocacy requires a clear purpose, two-way conversations and cultivating long-term relationships to drive policy changeFinding common ground with decision-makers is essential for achieving policy outcomesRespect and credibility is often overlooked in advocacy structuresFarmers are good as telling stories, but ag needs to get better at sharing storiesCurrent advocacy structures in Australia are often conservative and 'locked in' to a traditional structure, but new approaches such as social media influencers are having an impact Leadership in advocacy often requires taking unpopular stancesLinksLearn more about Tyson's Nuffield topic, and LinkedInKatie McRobert LinkedInYou can hear more episodes of Humans of Agriculture here.If you enjoyed this episode, share with a friend and let us know your thoughts at hello@humansofagriculture.com.  Don't forget to rate, subscribe, and leave a review!

6 - Trump tariff threat aimed at prising open Australian Agriculture markets by Australian Citizens Party

This week Rob Hermann is joined by Michael Whitehead, Head of Food, Beverage and Agribusiness Insights at ANZ to discuss the latest ANZ report on the exciting opportunities for Australian Agriculture in India. The report can be found at the following link: https://www.anz.com.au/content/dam/anzcomau/documents/pdf/india-thenextfrontier.pdf  

I have heard it said that “doing a traditional thing in a traditional industry may no longer be relevant.”   I have also heard it said that the point of entrepreneurship is to “create a legacy”…. that is to create something that makes an impact of significance in the market, that will last beyond your life-time.   Certainly there are great examples of individuals and teams out there daring enough to be highly entrepreneurial, deeply strategic and very innovative in finding ways to ‘get it done'.   For mine, Liam Leneghan and his GO.Farm Story presents an outstanding example of this, in modern day Australian Agriculture.   Just over 10 years ago, GO.Farm Australia was simply an idea in the mind of a very credible and progressive Australian Agriculturalist.   Today, GO.FARM's vision for transforming Australian agriculture has driven the development and management of $1.2B worth of agricultural assets, including 96,000ha of farmland producing high-value crops such as almonds, mandarins, tomatoes, winegrapes, grains, pulses and oilseeds.   With a strong focus on innovation through a Responsible Agriculture lens, GO.FARM's investment strategies deliver a positive impact for its environments and local communities, while generating significant wealth for its investors.   From an idea, combined with a deep determination to transform Australian farmland… GO.Farm is now a growing team of over 250 people, committed to this vision.   It is a truly compelling story, that I feel we can all learn from. Through this I am reminded of the benefits of being unconventional; that leadership starts with making informed and risk-aware predictions about the future; that business ownership is about being courageous and dertermined; of the power of having conviction; of learning from mistakes and ‘going again'; of the value in making unreasonable request of people with influence; of the importance of a commitment to our own learning and growth; and the importance of surrounding yourself in high-calibre people on this journey we all play in business.   Some individuals are simply truly pioneering and daring to make an impact.   Liam, I commend you on your courage, deep conviction and your modern-day pioneering. I hope our conversation pays some tribute to your impressive career, and the successes of GO.Farm and your team.   Congratulations mate.   Hutch & the FOA Team

Nuffield International's vision is to inspire people to make a difference in the world of agriculture.   It is fair to say this great organisation is truly achieving it's global vision- directly as a result of the many great leaders of Nuffield, like Jim Geltch, who have committed much of their careers to making this happen.   It was a privilege for me to speak this week with a fellow scholar and good friend of my father's, Jim Geltch about the Nuffield farming scholarship program and the significant impact this unique and very special organisation has had on our industry, both locally and globally. For more information on how to apply for a Nuffield Scholarship, click here   Jim started farming in 1971 in the Murrumbidgee Irrigation Area at Whitton growing rice, row cropping and ultimately into tomato production. This led him to later taking up a leadership position managing the Australian operations for New Zealand's tomato processing company, Cedenco.   As a long-serving guardian of the Nuffield farming scholarship program, Jim served as CEO Nuffield Australia 2005-2016, Nuffield International CEO 2008-2020, having completed a Nuffield Scholarship tour himself in 1986.   Over that time Nuffield expanded to be a truly international foundation and a greatly expanded global community of scholars.   Jim has since been awarded an Australian Order for Services to Agriculture, and the Rabobank Leadership Award recognising the fundamentally important role he had played developing upcoming leadership in the Australian and New Zealand food, fibre & agribusiness sector.   It is my hope, through this interview, that we advocate for the Nuffield farming scholarship program and that we honour the immense contribution that Jim has had made to this organisation and it's community of industry leaders.   Thank you Jim for a career advocating for the next generation of leaders in our industry, and for your immense contribution to Nuffield and to Australian Agriculture.   Sincerely,   Jeremy

It's a foggy May morning in Beaufort, 150kms west of Melbourne. We grab a coffee and head towards the first of the latest properties that the team at Go.FARM was acquired only a few months earlier, getting a better understanding of the Agronomist who spent his childhood not too far down the highway. As we tour the property, we quickly pull over, Liam jumps out and 'throws off the city boots' and begins picking up a few stray pieces of timber and baling twine. Evidence that the little things matter in the big picture. Liam started his career as an Agronomist and has since made a considerable impact. He shares the opportunity to be in the room and learn from the great Jim Collins and the miles he'd travel early in his career to pursue both a personal life and a professional life.When it was evident that the opportunity to be part of the family farm wasn't there, Liam pursued his interests and sought to become a farmer slightly differently. It's fair to say he's creating his own luck. "the origin of GoFarm is under-utilised and under-capitalised assets scattered across the landscape, ultimately to no one's benefit. And if we can find the best of those and turn them around, we can generate great investment returns, but we can also generate a lot of good."The role of agriculture in transforming Australian society and economyThe impact of institutional investment on the agriculture sectorThe importance of responsible agriculture and its impact on communities and the economyThe significance of courage and urgency in business and career decisionsThe culture of high-performing teams and their role in driving agricultural innovation and growthChapters00:00 Introduction to Hanna Go Farm and the Agriculture Industry19:37 The Impact of Institutional Investment on Agriculture28:11 Responsible Agriculture and Sustainable Communities37:22 The Role of Courage and Urgency in Business42:04 The Future of Agriculture: Trends and Opportunities

Su McCluskey's farm is a metaphor for her life. Raising beef cattle for more than 30 years close to Canberra, it's now her job to bring the politicians and policy makers in the nation's capital closer to farming, as the first Special Representative for Australian Agriculture. As she promotes agriculture to heads of state, Adam Fennessy is at the head of the federal Agriculture Department, hoping to guide the industry through the challenges, and opportunities, ahead.  

In the latest episode of the Wealth & Wisdom Podcast, we're digging into the turbulent world of the beef market with Matt Dalgleish, a seasoned agricultural market analyst who knows his way around livestock, grain, and wool data. Coming off a brutal year for beef producers in 2023 - with skyrocketing interest rates, soaring inflation, and plunging beef prices - the industry is on edge, and everyone wants to know what's next.Matt breaks down what caused the perfect storm that hit beef producers hard. Was it a classic market crash, or just a blip in the larger economic cycle? He also gives us his thoughts on whether the worst of the volatility is behind us or if we should brace for more market turbulence. With inflation and interest rates looming over every aspect of the economy, Matt pulls out his crystal ball to share what he sees on the horizon. Is the worst over, or is the beef industry in for another wild ride? If you're involved in agriculture or just curious about the state of the market, you won't want to miss this conversation. Tune in to get Matt's take on these pressing questions and more, as we unpack what went wrong, where we're at now, and what's in store for beef producers.

Rain, hail, or shine, all growers and producers recognise the impact of the climate on their operation. To enable long-term planning, Australian farmers must understand the changes we've already seen in the environment and what to expect in the coming years. In this episode, we explore how a changing climate could impact Australian farmers, the changes that have already occurred, and projections for the future. We also unpack some actions a farming operation could take in response to a changing climate.   Resources and links: The Climate Report 2024   Connect: Rural Bank website Rural Bank on Facebook Rural Bank on Twitter Rural Bank on LinkedIn Rural Bank on YouTube   Any opinions, estimates, and projections in this podcast are for informational purposes only and do not take into account your personal circumstances This show is produced in collaboration with Wavelength Creative.

Sustainable aviation fuels could boost demand for Australian agricultural products like sugar, grains, and oilseeds. And, if the rules are set optimally, they might also pay price premiums for low-emission farm production.

Weeds are a very expensive problem. According to one 2016 study, if weeds were left to grow unchecked in agricultural fields across just the US and Canada, the cost in lost productivity would total over $43 billion. And challenges are mounting. Though the last century has been ruled by crop protection chemistries that have kept weeds at bay– crafty wild plants have quickly adapted and the existing tools are under pressure from regulators and consumers. As farmers try to turn elsewhere, agtech is stepping into the void, expanding the weed-fighting toolkit with everything from water and heat, to lasers and robots. To understand this challenge better, and to learn more about one of the emerging tools in the market, Tenacious' Matthew Pryor joins Liam Hescock, Founder and CEO of Azaneo, an electric weeding company (and recent add to the Tenacious portfolio), and Guy Coleman, weed researcher extraordinaire. For more information and resources, visit our website. The information in this post is not investment advice or a recommendation to invest.

When it comes to things synonymous with visiting a farm, a tour is right up there. Sam Coulton takes great pride in it, so much so, that within his business he has established a dedicated crew to lead farm tours to support the education and understanding on their cotton farm near Goondiwindi. The Coulton family have incredible ties in farming. From humble beginnings, including mixed grain and livestock farming, to today as accomplished cotton producers where the farm even has a clothing and fashion business Goondiwindi Cotton attached to it. In our chat, Sam shares his story, opening up about the financial pressures that drove their farming business to the decision to grow their first cotton crop in 1977, a move that proved to be both risky and transformative.Most recently, Sam has been involved in a project with Cotton CRDC where he is diverting cotton clothing that would otherwise be landfill and spreading it on grower paddocks to break down in the soil, providing environmental benefit. We hope you enjoy our time with a true Legend of Australian Agriculture. This is Sam Coultons story.In this episode we talk about:Farming Australian Cotton, Fashion, Global Perspectives, Innovation, Family Farming, Irrigated cropping, Sustainability and Environment.

The Australian government's commodity forecaster, ABARES, has released its annual summary of agriculture showing that the industry is now further away from its goal of reaching $100 billion than it was the year before. 

In this re-release of our most downloaded episode, Praemium's Damian Cilmi speaks with Steve Jarrott, portfolio manager with Warakirri Asset Management, about agriculture as an asset class and the unique position of Australian agriculture against the backdrop of rising inflation, shifting global economies, and climate change. Steve speaks about the development of an agriculture REIT and agriculture investment as a key component of a diversified portfolio.

Australian farmers say their Government should walk away from trade negotiations with the EU - if it's offered conditions similar to New Zealand's deal. Our free trade agreement signed overnight will remove tariffs for 97 percent of our EU exports over time - but only small amounts of meat and dairy, before they kick in. Australian agriculture scientist Chris Russell says it wouldn't suit Australia. "New Zealand has to make its own judgements where they're prepared to trade off the agricultural products for some of the other investment."

Eight years ago, Farm Owners Academy (FOA) was just an idea shared by two incredible visionaries, Greg & Deb Johnsson.   Six months later, and following some time with Business Coach Andrew Roberts, the business we see and cherish today was born.   And the rest, as they say, is history.   As this is our 99th Profitable Farmer Podcast, I thought it appropriate to reflect on this journey with FOA Co-Founders Greg Johnsson & Andrew Roberts.   From that initial idea, now to an incredible community of over 500 farm businesses progressing through our various programs and a team of 20 dedicated business coaches and highly professional support personnel, the FOA Story is one worthy of sharing.   As a team and community, we can all be proud of what we have together created. I personally feel this project will make an impact of significance on our industry, as it has for the hundreds of farming families who have already completed our various programs.   I'd like to dedicate this interview to Greg, Deb and Robbo. Your Vision, intent, enterprise, dedication and tireless effort have delivered a Business Masterclass and Coaching Program to Australian Agriculture that is like no other.   To our team of incredible coaches and those in support, thank you for your unwavering loyalty and commitment to supporting our farming families to learn, grow and achieve their potential.   And finally, to all of you in our community – our podcast listeners, Take Control and Farm Financial Framework Members, TOP Producer Program event attendees, our Platinum Mastermind Program and our Alumni, thank you for your openness and your willingness to lean in, improve and be part of our growing community.   I hope you enjoy this podcast just as much as I enjoyed reflecting with two incredible individuals, Andrew Roberts and Greg Johnsson.   Keep winning, everyone!     Hutch   P.S.

In 2012, Kaz Bishton's farm went from being her family's sanctuary, a place of freedom and adventure, to a place of trauma and grief. Every year, lives are lost in tragic farming accidents; we read about them, but we rarely hear from the people affected. Kaz has bravely decided to share her story. 10 years ago, her 12 year old nephew died on her farm when a ute that was being driven by her teenage daughter rolled. That day changed everything, and Kaz is about to share her journey as a mum of five before that fateful day, and also how her family coped during the hardest time of their lives.

Kate Field and her husband love cheese so much that 10 years ago, they packed up life in Sydney and bought a farm in Tasmania to become cheesemakers. They started their own dairy goat herd and have grown their business to something very special. But there's a lot more to Kate's story than wrangling kids- both the goat kind and the human kind! Kate is also an emergency doctor at the Royal Hobart Hospital and her journey through pregnancy, motherhood and life on the land is quite the tale. Kate was also one of three Tasmanian finalists for the AgriFutures Rural Women's Award and it's been a thrill to get to know her. This is her story.GOLD SPONSOR: Shopping online at birdsnest gives you access to everything your wardrobe needs, all from the one place.

Gabrielle Chan is a political journalist and the rural editor of the Guardian Australia. She's a fierce advocate for the bush, a loyalty and understanding that stems from her own experience as a rural mum. Gabrielle grew up in the city, and only moved to a farm when she was married and 8 months pregnant. Her new life started as a shock to the system, before her love for her community seeped into her bones and set her on a mission to uncover and report on the real issues facing rural Australia. With the federal election this weekend, our catch up is fitting. This is her story.

For a vision to be compelling AND create meaningful change, it has to enrol and inspire. Well-designed, a compelling vision can align people from all walks of life, diverse backgrounds, varying persuasions, and even competing preferences. To me, it seems that for Australian Agriculture, this has been achieved thanks to Tony Mahar and the National Farmers Federation (NFF). In 2018, NFF sought to prepare a shared vision for Australian Agriculture. A sixth-month consultation process with the industry, some deep thinking, a host of critical conversations and input from key players, and a supporting roadmap to 2030 was born. Within it, an overview of important mega-trends to impact us all, five pillars to focus their effort, and a shortlist of major projects to initiate and impact. NFF's 2030 Vision and Roadmap can be found by clicking here. I speak with Tony Mahar, CEO of National Farmers Federation in this podcast. We explore what is unique about the economic climate of today and the vision and roadmap they have pioneered for Australian Agriculture. Finally, we touch on some key issues impacting our industry, including supply shortages, labour shortfalls and trade challenges. Importantly, we also connect on what is good about being in this industry at this time and how fortunate we are as farming families and business owners to be part of a nation and industry with so much to look forward to. Thank you, Tony, for your openness, transparency, overview, and insight. A very interesting conversation.
