FutureAg Melbourne Postponed Amid Global Farm Pressures
With mounting pressure on Australian farmers, driven by the increasingly fluid global uncertainty, the organisers of 'FutureAg powered by Agritechnica' have postponed the Melbourne event.
Last year's National Fieldays saw Norwood chief executive Tim Myers present Farmstrong with a cheque for $106,925.
It is the largest single donation made to Farmstrong and was raised during Norwood’s fourth annual golf event held last year. The Norwood Charity Golf Tournament is now a major funding contributor to Farmstrong, having raised a total $300,925 since 2019.
Myers says it was brought about by the desire to address mental wellbeing, the idea being to get people off farm to relax.
“We’re privileged to represent a network that is invested in making a difference to mental wellbeing in the agricultural sector and recognises the incredible mahi that Farmstrong do to achieve that,” he added.
Planning is already underway for the 2023 Norwood Charity Golf Tournament, which will be held on 17 May at the Wairakei Golf + Sanctuary.
