16.01.2022 Did you know that women make up nearly 50% of the agricultural workforce? They’re talented, organised and extremely hard working just like my beautiful wife Rub...y. Not only does she look after us as a family and help me on the farm, she also contributes with an off-farm income as an agronomist AND has also obtained a phD in science for her studies into the relationship of irrigated crops vs non irrigated crops! She is one smart cookie! I am very lucky to have her. A ripper report released in January this year by Future Directions International titled ‘Empowering Women in Agriculture: Australia and Beyond’ stated: In Australia, contributions by women in the agricultural industry are not given the recognition they deserve. Despite being a key factor in Australian agricultural production, women are given little public recognition in the industry. Lynne Johnston, post-doctoral student at the University of Western Australia, presented research in 2014 to show that women’s participation in primary producer organisations is still limited. Men aged more than 35 years are still the most likely to be elected to boards, although 40 per cent of Australian farmers are women, with an average incidence of tertiary education that is double that of men. Looking at trends in board membership over 50 years, she describes farming decision-making bodies as closed social networks. In 2014, there was only one woman on the board of the National Farmers’ Federation. Empowering women in agriculture is essential; not only for gender equity, but also for the economic sustainability of global primary industries. At a global level, the gender gap in agriculture has been brought to the forefront of policy dialogue. Women make up half of the agricultural workforce and represent a large part of our next generation of workers, managers, researchers and decision makers. It is therefore necessary, as a matter of urgency and for the sake of the sustainable future of our agricultural industry, that women’s empowerment is taken seriously. The government needs to initiate structural changes that encourage agricultural organisations and agribusinesses to prioritise women’s involvement at all levels. I know many talented female farmers and women involved in primary industries doing beaut things for our country. The old saying, ‘behind every good man is a great woman’ rings true, mate. Here’s hoping that we see some more talented women like my wife Ruby get the opportunity to have their voices heard and contribute to some key decision being made in Australia’s agricultural future.

04.01.2022 Would you pay 30% more for your milk to save an Aussie dairy farm? It would be great if a trust could be setup for dairy farmers in need from a direct portion of sale agreement between major supermarket chains. That way the increase could be guaranteed to make it to those in need.
