Successful applicants for the 2021 program are:

• John Bennett, Lawloit VIC • Ashleigh Brooks, Dimboola VIC • Claire Booth, Geurie NSW • Megan Gooding, WA • Kate Gunn, Curlewis NSW • Sam Heagney, Mungindi NSW • Tracy Lefroy, Moora WA • Bruce Watson, Parkes NSW

“Congratulations to the growers selected, we are really excited to have such an excellent cohort for our inaugural intake of the OnBoard program. We are proud that GrainGrowers is able to implement innovative initiatives like this, recognising and creating opportunities for growers.” said Brett Hosking, GrainGrowers Chair.

“We received so many outstanding applications, this was not an easy decision. Every grower who applied was a worthy candidate for the program and I hope will apply again in the future.”

The first face to face meeting for the OnBoard program will be in April 2021.
