@georgie_troup Best wishes. You’ve got this 💪

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

[Simone Smith @Simone_Smith04]

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

[Simone Smith @Simone_Smith04]

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

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

[Simone Smith @Simone_Smith04]

Best in the business

[Australian Diamonds @AussieDiamonds]

A fitting international farewell for our incredible vice-captain. Thanks, Steph.

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

This looks familiar…. @Meat_Watcher @WheatWatcher #FoodFutures23

[Simone Smith @Simone_Smith04]

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

[Simone Smith @Simone_Smith04]

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.

[Simone Smith @Simone_Smith04]

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