We’re building momentum!
With Andrew Smith as our new CEO and John Bennett leading the board, exciting things are happening at FTA!
Farmer-led. Commercial integrity. Purpose-driven. Collaboration.
And deep respect for the land and the people who work it.

Today I had the unique opportunity to deliver the first commercial quantity of Arista (high amylose) wheat for milling in Australia into Allied Pinnacle mills, an exciting project showing great potential.

Very proud with years of hard work by AGT involved in this. Three years goes quickly! bit.ly/40TWkTy
The high amylose variety is also largely responsible for a new wheat classification - Australian Innovative Wheat (AIW)!

Farmers: do your people have the Emergency Plus app on their phone?
It’s easy to use and “what3words” is a gamechanger for finding an exact location.
Keep your people safe: have them download the app now.

Farmers with employees: do you have your workers’ emergency contact numbers in your phone?
There’s no point having it on a piece of paper in the filing cabinet when there’s an emergency. Just saying…

Look out! The future is looking healthier. There’ll be no need to add fibre to your cereal with AGT’s new high fibre wheat variety. It’ll already have all the fibre you need.
Nice work @TristanCoram and @agtbreeding !

Andrew Smith of @ruralbank says there’s a degree of hype around land prices at the moment. Really strong prices across the Wimmera, Mallee and Western Districts. Don’t we know it!

So @JaneBunn says it’s going to be dry for the next month with the likeliness of a late break. Watch for the IOD becoming negative.
Thanks Jane!

Ok, so I’m clearly biased..but I think it’s a cracking program at the Agri Forum in Horsham this Wed. Every session focussed on adding dollars to a farmer’s bottom line. Hope you can join us!
