Guests took the opportunity to consolidate their learnings to help build future resilience into their farm enterprises; focussing on the topics of Farm Design, Insurance, Health & Wellbeing, and accessing independent professional support to assist with rebuilding.

05.01.2022 : ( /3) Jamie Heinrich, a sheep producer from Kangaroo Island, is retiring from the Livestock SA board after four years of ...service at this year’s AGM. Jamie shares some of his proudest moments and things he is excited for in the future of the SA livestock industry. ? It’s been great to watch the progression and growth of the organisation over the years. Livestock SA really stepped up during the 2019/20 summer bushfires, particularly on Kangaroo Island. Livestock SA helped to support community members in an urgent time of need, organising fodder and volunteers to come to the island. This was great to see as a producer on KI and it made me proud to be a part of the board. #Livestock #SA
