In this year's first episode of the MSF Farm Talk podcast, we are thrilled to announce the winner of the prestigious 2024 David Roget Award for Excellence. This award is an opportunity to celebrate the legacy and contribution of David Roget, a principal research scientist at the CSIRO, who revolutionized the field by taking research out of the lab and into the paddock.

David's passion, enthusiasm, and research had a profound impact on reducing soil erosion and increasing profitability in dry land farming production systems in the Mallee. To honor his work, MSF (Mallee Sustainable Farming) has been recognizing individuals and groups who have made significant contributions to the farming community each year. But this year, in 2024, we are thrilled to announce the award's very first group winner.

The recipients of the 2024 David Roget Award for Excellence is the Lowbank Ag Bureau. Tanja Morgan and Nick Paltridge caught up with them recently at a local Big Ag Day Out event in Waikerie, and we could feel the excitement and pride from the group as they discussed their journey over many years as an Ag Bureau group.
