The Lockyer Valley Growers Expo provided an excellent chance for locals to measure their product against industry leaders on 14-15 June.
Hosted by Lockyer Valley Growers Inc., the expo featured 11 seed companies displaying their newest and greatest technology, with growers travelling from across Australia and the globe to attend the Gatton expo.
Exhibitors included chemical companies, machinery dealers, banks, insurance and supply-chain experts.
LVGI president Michael Sippel said the three-yearly expo was an excellent networking opportunity for growers travelling from far and wide to connect.
“It’s an excellent opportunity for growers to come and socialise and connect,” he said.
“It’s a great networking opportunity.
“There are people here with whom the farmers do business and with whom they collaborate.
“It’s just a nice opportunity to have a few days off work and connect because they all work seven days a week.”
The event was host to Australian comedian Jimeoin on Friday night, 14 June.
