Outcomes focused Grains extension.

[Charlotte Aves @CharlieAves]

Its been an exciting start to this project, I'm grateful so many have taken time to share their work & local experiences. There is a way to go but surrounded by passionate people keen to translate research into practices for growers means I'm in great company to create outcomes!

[GRDC @theGRDC]

A @unisqaus and @sqnnswhub led pilot supported by GRDC is strengthening extension capacity across the Darling Downs.

With 50+ projects from 20+ organisations, Dr @CharlieAves is improving visibility, reducing duplication and building clearer pathways for growers and advisers to access trusted research.

Rest is important. We talk about mental health and rest but we need to practice it, especially if we're business owners or leading teams. Samantha Longmore says grit and determination get things done but sleep keeps you alive. #agxchangeau @NationalFarmers

[Charlotte Aves @CharlieAves]

So many insights! Innovation key to business success but knowing when to invest or walk away as its become a distraction is critical. Attracting & retaining people in ag (youth & foreign workers) so important to farming businesses and communities #agxchangeau @NationalFarmers

[Charlotte Aves @CharlieAves]

Insightful discussion bouncing through urban sprawl, profitability, natural capital, international investment, and keeping farms farming. Key take home, planning is great but its action that's needed to maintain industry growth @NationalFarmers #agxchangeau @SuMcCluskey

"Put 7 farmers in a room and get 8 opinions" @farmerdj talks about the joys & challenges of being an advocate at @NationalFarmers #agxchangeau and highlights the importance of stories in shifting the dial to achieve policy outcomes.

From heels to farm boots. Had so many great opportunities to connect & network in last wk. Cotton Collective, QRRRWn lunch, @NufarmSeedsAU field walk and @GRDCNorth Spray & Save workshop. Event silly season yes but having a blast, learning lots and ❤️ing the welcome from QLD Ag

[Charlotte Aves @CharlieAves]

Only in QLD..... Whipped through the @AustSummerGrain awards in time for #StateOfOriginAu!!!

[Charlotte Aves @CharlieAves]

What's the future of chemistry in Ag? Robust discussion bounced through the regulator, resistance, new chemistry, R&D, crop rotations & use of tech. The take home, we will lose options in the future, we will innovate & overcome, we always have! #ASGC25 @AustSummerGrain

[Charlotte Aves @CharlieAves]

We can't be sustainable if we're not profitable. There's so much we can't control so focus on what we can. Strive to be as efficient as possible with our resources & our people. Words of wisdom from the 1st farmer panel at #asgc25 at the beautiful RACV #GoldCoast @AustSummerGrain

A 5 month career break allowed me to travel, be present for friends and family and focus on who I am not what I do. Now I'm on the move, excited to relocate to @unisqaus to work on a project with @GRDCNorth @sqnnswhub building grower networks in the Darling Downs

[Irrigation Farmers Network (formerly ICC) @IrrigationFN]

We are looking for our next IFN leader! @CharlieAves has made a tremendous contribution to the organisation and created huge growth & development opportunities for our future. Exciting times ahead...

[Charlotte Aves @CharlieAves]

Big decision to leave @IrrigationFN after almost 7yrs. I'm grateful to the team + board who've enabled me explore, work with amazing people, think big picture & make decisions while growing the organisation. Interesting in leading its continuing journey? https://t.co/C9uLLBLNay

[Charlotte Aves @CharlieAves]

Great advice from @GlencliffeDairy, pass that opportunity on. If you're offered an opportunity that's a no for you always refer it on to someone else in your network.

Don't be a jerk. It doesn't work! @cynth_mahons talking about how leaders can unlock the power of our brains in workplaces by creating safe, positive spaces for teams. @AustWomenInAg

[Charlotte Aves @CharlieAves]

Nothing about us without us. We need to show up, speak up and step up with courage and generosity. @Indigocathy call to action to kick off the 30th @AustWomenInAg conference.

[Charlotte Aves @CharlieAves]
