A podcast that explores the difficult topics in agriculture

You might think Groves Grown Tropical Fruit has had some lucky escapes when it comes to natural disasters. But luck had absolutely nothing to do with it. Podcast - Bigger Faster Stronger Hotter More Frequent - resilient farming in the face of extreme weather. @growcom

[There's An Elephant In My Paddock @ElephantPaddock]

Should the government bailout farmers who are hit by natural disasters? Part two of our series on resilience in the horticulture industry includes the views of the newly formed @RecoveryAust @growcom

Why is it that some primary producers that survive drought, bushfire, cyclone, and flood sometimes in quick succession go on to thrive and others don't? Rural Aid Lauren Stracey is a guest on our latest two-parter series. @RecoveryAust @growcom

Suitable agricultural insurance ... its coming

[There's An Elephant In My Paddock @ElephantPaddock]

Ever considered insuring your grazing grass, the harvest, or against a light on wet season? Maybe you should...find out more in the podcast

[There's An Elephant In My Paddock @ElephantPaddock]

The thought of talking about insurance, stay with me, is very boring...but not when you consider what a game-changer it will be in agriculture if done well. #podcast #download @QldFarmers @usqedu @ILSE_USQ #ruralfinancialcounselling. #insurance #agriculture

[There's An Elephant In My Paddock @ElephantPaddock]

Why isn't your farm insured for flood, low rainfall, cyclone etc? A solution is on the way #podcast #agriculture @QldFarmers @ILSE_USQ

Disappointing to see the rural vet crisis issue still front and centre of the news this week on @abcnews - it’s an issue we explored almost two years ago, https://t.co/ZT4IDZqlv1
Our vets are the lifeblood of our rural communities and they need all the support they can get.

We spoke - the Prime Minister listened! Perhaps our pollies do tune into our podcast after all?

They don't call us the 'sunshine state' here in Queensland for nothing, so why aren't governments taking a lead on the enormous opportunity renewables represent?

The grasshoppers are causing devastation across Nicole’s home turf in central west Queensland, and ‘squashed hopper’ seems to be the vehicle colour of the district - but there are plenty of bullbars around Longreach and Winton that could be considered masterpieces of art!

[There's An Elephant In My Paddock @ElephantPaddock]

Well this is a bit exciting - one of our podcast’s greatest champions (and coincidentally Jayne’s husband!) Martin Cuddihy is going to be a panelist on ABC's The Drum this evening at 6pm.
Tune in as Martin helps shine the light on rural Australia during a North Queensland focus.

Western Queensland up in lights 🤩
Congratulations to Longreach’s Prue Button of iButton event and our own Nicole Bond for an inspired initiative to entice The Amazing Race on Network 10 to the region.
What an opportunity to capture the landscape and community 🤩

[Amazing Race AU @amazingrace_au]

The race rages on through Queensland as we visit Longreach and Winton tonight! 👊

#AmazingRaceAU, 7.30 tonight on 10

How do we best attract a new population to our rural and regional communities and workplaces?
This is the big question Professor Karen Becker, human resource management specialist delves into during our most recent podcast: https://t.co/zdqoGiy67c

[There's An Elephant In My Paddock @ElephantPaddock]

From bush to beach.
It's that time of year when rural Australia makes its annual pilgrimage to the coast. It's a long haul for many of us, but luckily we've got the perfect companion for your journey!

You'll be seeing the sea before you know it!

NEW PODCAST ALERT! Jayne is back on the airwaves tackling one of rural and regional Australia's greatest challenges - how to attract and retain skilled workers.
Despite jobs and lifestyle, moving west evidently remains a hard sell.

Multi-tasking during harvest - some rare downtime and the best spot to beat the heat.

In the home or workplace, sexual abuse and harassment in the bush is a rarely discussed issue.
We applaud Virginia Tapscott for bravely raising awareness on rural childhood sexual abuse, and we delve into workplace sexual abuse here:
