Had a yen for Japanese food and how it’s produced & presented ? @quadrantagtours has put together a 17-day itinerary offering fascinating insights into Japan’s diverse agricultural enterprises - everything from wasabi to Wagyu quadrantaustralia.com/farmer… facebook.com/share/v/1Ggn4TK…

On this day in 1995 , this wonderful bunch put to air the last state-based 7.30 Report in SA . They each went on to work on a variety of interesting projects but probably never had as much fun as we did then putting nightly TV current affairs on by the seat of our pants .

Appreciate all the terrific feedback following my induction into the @RuralPressClub Hall of Fame. No one is prouder of the enduring popularity of its monthly events and its important role in developing the next generation of rural & regional storytellers @AusAgJournos @IFAJ

Great to hear from Queensland’s brand new Primary Industries Minister @TonyPerrettMP at the final @RuralPressClub event for the year ! Big job & he’s up for it ! #grazier #kilkivan #widebay #regionalQld

It’s just occurred to #ElmerFudd that he’ll finally get to try those 50 cent bus fares to get to work. #QLDelection #StevenMiles #NotEvenClose

Churlish & childish to the bitter end. Steven Miles’ concession speech was entirely consistent with the way he’s always behaved in public office. facebook.com/share/v/zg5RTwW…

Fancy an insight into some of the world’s most remarkable farming operations + the best Japan has to offer visitors ? Join me next May on a #QuadrantAustralia Ag Tour .

Almost a month ago my credit card was scammed and the stolen money used to purchase luxury goods from @farfetch . I reported the crime to the company immediately , as well as my bank and police. @farfetch knows where the stolen goods were delivered but so far no refund .Why ?

Really appreciated the opportunity to work again with @NTCattlemen & @NTFarmers on today’s NT Election Ag Debate in Katherine. Tks to all the industry stakeholders who posed thoughtful questions to @TerritoryLabor Minister Mark Monaghan & @CLP Ag spokesman Josh Burgoyne.

The hottest ticket in town during @BeefAustralia is the @RuralPressClub Brekky .The big drawcard was Mark Eisele , a rancher from Cheyenne Wyoming who has just taken the reins of the National Cattlemen's Beef Association which boasts 175,000 members across the US .

Congrats to the busiest bloke in the beef game @AdamCoffeyNT for being awarded the 2024 @qclnews Red Meat Achiever Award . Adam and Jacynta are innovators on their own place “Boreelum” near Miriam Vale, and he’s helping drive change in the grass-fed beef biz at @CattleAus
