One of the biggest criticisms that #ausag has of R&D is that researchers don’t engage with farmers & when they do - they don’t know how to talk to us. @CSIRO has a program called ONPrime that helps researchers identify who they need to communicate with & how to do it. Excellent…

This 1967 photo shows a farmer loading copper sulfate into his sprayer. No gloves, no mask, no PPE. Just courage and a beret. 🇫🇷 Today, every step of this process is regulated, tested, and protected. That’s what scientific progress looks like.

The Victorian Country Hour has been nominated for media outlet of the year. And nearly the entire team is up for individual awards. An incredible effort for a small program in its 80th year that’s competing against giants. Very proud of the work that our team does…

I fear that the decline of reading will have disastrous societal consequences.
