GrainGrowers’ members in the Southern Region have voted for their National Policy Group (NPG) representatives. The NPG determines GrainGrowers’ policy positions and represent the views of farmers on national issues affecting the grains sector.

The five Southern Region representatives that have been elected are:

  • Martin Honner, Junee NSW
  • Mark Hoskinson, Kikoira NSW
  • Daniel Keam, Wallup VIC
  • Kate Maddern, Kaniva VIC
  • Stuart McDonald, Canowindra NSW

“I would like to congratulate the successful candidates. I know each one of them will be bringing significant experience and strong interest in our industry. They will be excellent representatives on behalf of their fellow growers on national issues.” said Brett Hosking, GrainGrowers’ Chairman.

“Growers across Australia have had a really challenging season, I’d like to recognise and thank all the candidates who put themselves forward for consideration.” said Hosking.

The GrainGrowers NPG is made up of fifteen farmers; five from each of the GrainGrowers regions – Western Region (SA and WA), Southern Region (southern NSW, VIC and TAS) and the northern region (northern NSW & QLD).

The first meeting for the GrainGrowers National Policy Group including the newly elected Southern Region representatives will be in February 2020 at the GRDC updates in Perth.
