🎙️ AgFab Ep. 46 | Drought Forum, Heifer Show, Climate Conference + Who Should Speak at Ag Events?

Welcome back to Agsolutley Fabulous – your go-to ag podcast for rural news, events, and honest conversations about Australian agriculture.

This episode covers: 🌾 Federal Drought Forum Update – Gillian brings the inside scoop straight from the recent national discussions. What’s being promised, and how does it stack up for farmers on the ground? 🐮 National All Breeds Heifer Show – highlights, industry buzz, and how these events are shaping the next generation of cattle breeders and young handlers. 🌱 Farmers for Climate Action Conference – review of the 2025 event MC’d by Kirsten Diprose, who also joins us on the podcast to share her insights and key takeaways. ❓ AgFab listener Q&A: Why are non-farm speakers at agriculture events? With the NFF AgriFutures Exchange Conference on the Gold Coast featuring Billy Slater, Gillian (on the organising committee and a speaker herself) gives her perspective. We also chat about UK ag influencer Olly Harrison’s visit and what international voices bring to the table.

🔥 Key talking points:

• Drought preparedness and what policy changes might mean for your farm
• Why cattle shows matter for the future of agriculture
• Farmer-driven climate conversations and Kirsten’s conference highlights
• Do we need more industry experts – and fewer celebrity names – at ag forums?
