WITH so many agribusiness professionals in the one place for AgQuip, it was the perfect setting to gather for this month's Agribuzz hosted by the Farm Writers' Association of NSW and sponsored by the Manildra Group.
Meat and Livestock Australia managing director Jason Strong was the guest speaker for the event.
Mr Strong shared his career highlights, plus the challenges and opportunities ahead for the red meat industry.
He said the agricultural industry was in a fantastic position and those involved needed to look towards a positive future rather than dwell on the negatives.
