Sign up for upcoming TSBE Meat Up event

PRODUCERS, agribusiness specialists and those just wanting a sticky-beak will head to Feed Central next month as part of a new event series.

Food Leaders Australia is set to host its second Meat Up on August 3 as part of the new and popular format.

Meat Ups are a chance for guests to get a glimpse inside businesses, showrooms and paddocks across the region over a beer and a barbecue.

Toowoomba and Surat Basin Enterprise executive chairman Shane Charles said the Meat Ups were a result of member feedback for casual events.

“Small groups events from within our network allow for targeted networking and a more relaxed and informal event,” Mr Charles said.

“While at TSBE the Enterprise Evenings, complete with keynote speakers, remain a staple of our events calendar for FLA members, they’ve said loud and clear they want something a little more low-key.”

The first Meat Up was held at Vanderfield, with Bruce Vandersee taking guests around his showroom and tractors.

In August, Feed Central will host the event. Feed Central has developed Australia’s only recognised quality grading and assurance system for domestic hay.

With more than 15 years of working within the farming industry, Feed Central offers world-class quality assurance whether you want to buy, sell, test or access their services.

Future Meat Up destinations in the 2017 calendar include Department of Agriculture and Fisheries and Clearspan.
