In today’s episode, host Kerry Lonergan chats with respected meat processor and industry leader Terry Nolan, who was guest speaker at the Queensland Rural Press Club’s annual Ekka breakfast in Brisbane this morning – a gathering of more than 800 stakeholders.
Terry and his family are close to finalising the sale of their Nolan Meats processing business to Hewitt, making his Brisbane presentation a fitting bookend to the family 70-year contribution to the industry.
He touches on wide ranging topics, ranging from the power of relationships to the value of being involved in industry representation. He shares his views on the likely future direction of lotfeeding in Australia, the lasting legacy left by Meat Standards Australia, the dangers involved in ‘group-think’ and some of the people who ‘made a difference’ in developing the modern day Australian beef industry.
