I congratulate Wynyard’s own Redbank Farm which has been recognised for its excellence and innovation at last night’s 2021 National Landcare Awards.
Redbank Farm—owned and managed by Michael Nichols--won the Australian Government Innovation in Agriculture Award which acknowledges the pursuit of precision agricultural techniques to address crop variability and resource use efficiency. It was Tasmania’s first award at the event in six years.
The Australian Government Innovation in Agriculture Award is presented to a primary producer or enterprise for demonstrating innovation in agriculture land management through leadership or application that delivers improved natural resource management and farm productivity outcomes.
The family-owned and operated farm is one of Tasmania’s finest agricultural producers and provides state-of-the-art practices across their 380-hectare property in the North-West.
It is wonderful to see Redbank Farm receive the recognition it deserves for its contribution to accelerating Tasmania’s agriculture industry, which provides thousands of Tasmanian jobs and important support for rural and regional communities.
