''I went into Nuffield with a pretty specific question that I thought my all important corner of the industry needed an answer for – that’s all I wanted.  I’ve come away understanding that I had the wrong question; that my tiny-little corner needs to grasp a far bigger picture.

I have a much greater motivation to make a difference (maybe that’s confidence or just a sense of urgency that has rubbed off on me); I have a higher appreciation for family, home and the ‘culture’ of agriculture; and I have a much better skillset as a business person. But the big thing is the people I’ve met.''
