As part of our commitment to helping ensure that farmers have a well developed succession plan Rodney Page and I are heading off on a road trip to visit farmers and explain why succession planning is such an important issue.
It wasn’t a glamourous start.
I left Brisbane at 4 in the morning driving through pouring rain.
At 4.00am the Qld Government website told me the Bruce Highway was flooded but by 5.00 the highway signs were saying it was open again! Too late to turn back so we pushed on through Gympie.
Our first seminar was at 8.30 am to about 10 farm groups. We quickly identified some issues that needed work and Rodney is coming back to spend 3 days there on his way back.
The next seminar for the day was at 1.00 in Bundaberg so I hightailed it throught Childers to Bundaberg and did the seminar to about 4 or 5 farmers. All of those people wanted a visit from Rod so they are all booked in.
Wednesday, was Childers and we had more than 20 people at that seminar – all identifying issues that needed to be addressed.
