The Weekly Grill podcast host Kerry Lonergan spent time at the Northern R&D conference in Brisbane this week, including this discussion with keynote speaker David Foote.
Mr Foote said one of the industry’s biggest R&D opportunities lies not in new scientific breakthroughs, but applying the knowledge that already exists.“The industry doesn’t suffer from a lack of knowledge. It suffers from a lack of scale in applying it,” he said.
Mr Foote said northern research over many years had identified clear management principles that consistently improve performance in commercial beef enterprises.
One key message was that “profit follows pasture, and pasture condition.”
