Ms CUPPER (Mildura) (09:55): Each year Mallee Sustainable Farming presents the prestigious David Roget Award for Excellence to a local farmer who exemplifies the benefits of sustainable farming practices. The award is named after David Roget, a CSIRO scientist who was instrumental in connecting scientific research directly with farmers, helping them to convert scientific findings into meaningful practice and taking science out of the lab and into the paddock.
This year’s David Roget Award for Excellence was awarded to Malcolm Lynch. Malcolm has combined grazing management with strong conservation farming principles to help his business face the challenging years which inevitably occur in dryland farming. Congratulations to Malcolm on this very well deserved award.
