Emily King, Pt 3 Knowledge in Ag – DOP x RIST podcast series
Over the coming weeks, we are proud to be sponsoring a three part podcast series with Ducks on the Pond Podcast.
Across the episodes, host Kirsten Diprose will be chatting with three incredible women we know in the Agricultural Industry making an impact.
The theme of the series is Knowledge in Ag.. is Power.
Knowledge in Ag is Power – Part 3: Lifting an entire Industry
Emily King is the National Program Extension Manger for the Australian Wool Industry. Here at RIST we work very closely with Emily for the Life Time Ewe Management program.
Notes from the show:
Tea tree oil and nanotechnology for fly strike and foot-rot resistant sheep…. These are just some of the exciting innovations happening in agriculture. But how do you lift an entire sector or industry?
It’s not always easy in farming when most of us work alone or with family.
But in this episode, you’ll hear about the benefits of taking part in extension programs, learning from research trials, and even just forming local groups to learn from your neighbours.
Emily King is the National Extension Manager for Australian Wool Innovation.
She’s based in Dubbo and in her role, delivers a range of programs to help growers improve their production and trial the latest in research. In this episode, Emily discusses some of the latest innovations for wool production and sheep as well as some of the most successful extension programs that are still being delivered today.
So if you’re keen to improve farming practices and production not just on your farm, but for your whole community or industry, this episode is for you!
