Quote of the month
A lot of people have ideas, but there are few who decide to do something about them now. Not tomorrow. Not next week. But today. The true entrepreneur is a doer, not a dreamer.

Welcome
This week the Project Advisory Panel (PAP) met in Adelaide to plan the next twelve months of the Bestprac project. As well as the activities planned under the current FarmReady Industry grant project; we are looking at coordinating a few state based forums. The aim of these sessions will be share to innovations and discuss relevant industry issues. If you are interested in hosting a forum in your district, please give me a call to discuss.
The PAP has also started discussing the future of Bestprac beyond January 2011. The National Coordination team will be working on a new project model over the coming month. A full proposal will be submitted to AWI by the end of March. This proposal will be developed in conjunction with the PAP members. If you have any ideas or comments about the future of Bestprac, please contact me or your state PAP member.
