The Grower Group Alliance is a not-for profit farmer driven organisation linking growers with researchers and industry in a network across Western Australia and nationally.
Richard Norton presented at the event on behalf of MLA sharing an overview of the reforms that had taken place at Meat and Livestock Australia and how this would create increased opportunities for red meat producers.
An increased number of grower group staff attending the event, showing the growth of grower groups in WA and an increased professionalism and appetite for opportunities to build their skills and grow their networks.
The 2014 GGA Annual Forum had one of the best grower group involvements on record, with 100 grower group representatives and key industry and research partners participating in the 'Striving for Profitability Beyond Agronomics' theme.
