BCG Womens Agronomy Workshop

We Western Australian women really enjoyed sharing the learnings with women members of the Birchip Cropping Group.

















An integral aspect of the Women's Agronomy Days is the round table discussion with women from across the region encouraged to speak of what is 'top of mind' for them in their business, their community and their family. Frankness, trust, empathy and mutual respect were evident.
















Thank You BCG ladies for telling it how it really is 














 


We heard Dr Harm van Rees, a long term consultant to BCG, explain Climate Change and Farm Variability, using maps and graphs and science to simplify a complex topic. "Weathering the weather" - using factual evidence and proactive production-based research." For details please see the separate post report.

















Jonathan White of AWB ltd explained grain marketing models and products - it was interesting to hear a Victorian perspective on the markets too. His parting message was "Keep talking to your banks and your marketers - keep learning!" For details please see the separate post report.

















Lunch was a celebration of 'just being women' and being firends and enjoying the finer things of life....champagne was served of course! What a delightful outdoor eating area the BCG has constructed. And well done for keeping some lawn alive - even in dry seasons....
