BeefUp Forums provide an opportunity for northern Australian beef producers to learn something new, stay up-to-date with the latest on-farm research and technologies and meet others working in the red meat industry.
Held predominantly throughout Queensland, NT and WA, these forums introduce producers to the outcomes of MLA research and development projects and the next steps to drive profitability and productivity on-farm.
At BeefUp Forums, producers can:
