Farmers know that the good times (and prices) don’t always last. Across many commodities, they’re now coming off the back of record high prices.
But can you engineer a good time, and how is the Australian agriculture industry doing that? It has a plan to increase the value of production at the farmgate to $100 billion by 2030.

Are we on track? Is enough being done to meet the target? Will it all come down to good prices and good luck? How big a deal is this to farmers?
Award-winning ag journalist Sue Neales will moderate a panel of guests representing the National Farmers Federation, corporate farmers and on-the-ground voices to answer all these questions and more.
