Terrific to join farmers, industry & researchers at Parliament House to launch Concept to Impact - The Story of the Sheep CRC. Since the @SheepCRC began in 2001, the industry has increased productivity by 50% & its value has grown by $3 billion to $8.6 billion.

#sheepcrcfc Genomics now "boldly going where no sheep has gone before" but in 2015 this wasn't the case - market research identified problems & @sheepcrc worked to overcome them. Michael Thomson

Fascinating presentation at #sheepcrcfc re managing natural capital & its potential use in assessing credit risk. Banks assessing mgt competency given environmental, not just financial capability to repay a loan - interesting situation #thunderhillestate @SheepCRC #PollDorset

#sheepcrcfc askbill.com.au can track lamb live weight to target market spec - how might this save you time, eg, less weights needed, & money, eg, less musters? Soon you can choose to share your data with your processor to lock in future price - Lewis Kahn

Thanks to John Keniry talking about the technology steamroller at the #SheepCRCFC He quoted Stewart Brand “Once a new technology rolls over you, if you're not part of the steamroller, you 're part of the road.” Quite apt I feel.
