Future needs and funding for grower groups was the focus of the Ag Excellence workshop held recently in Adelaide. Presentations by a diverse range of industry representatives set the tone for a successful workshop session, facilitated by Jeanette Long, Ag Excellence committee member and Ag Consulting partner. A list of issues identified at the Melbourne grower group meeting in March earlier this year included a need to focus on the ‘Value of Collaboration’. This included minimising duplication to increase efficiency; networking; greater leverage; and the continued importance of ideas and innovation. The workshop built on this theme with valuable discussion between farming groups resulting in a number of key outcomes.The groups continue to show a proactive approach to their future, and can be commended on their focus to meet local research and extension needs.
