A LINE-UP of first-class speakers attracted more than 150 of WA's agribusiness and farm and crop management specialists to the Australian Association of Agriculture Consultants (AAAC) Outlook 2019 conference last Thursday.
AAAC president Ashley Herbert introduced WA's chief scientist, professor Peter Klinken, Primary Industries and Regional Development Minister Alannah MacTiernan and CropLife Australia's corporate affairs director Katherine Delbridge, who updated the audience on market threats to glyphosate herbicide usage.
Other speakers included The Brand Agency's Steve Harris, BJW Agribusiness' David Williams, Icon Agriculture's Andrew Ritchie and Planfarm's Jerome Critch, who gave their views on where they see agriculture headed.
Motivational speaker was West Coast Eagles indigenous liaison officer and former Eagles and St Kilda AFL player Phil Narkle.
