Grain Marketing Workshops

We are pleased to advise that "Partners in Grain" (PinG) will soon be presenting their Grain Marketing workshops throughout NSW.

Following the success of the 2008 Grain Marketing Forums, Partners in Grain have invited Malcolm Bartholomaeus (pictured), an independent grains analyst with many year's experience, to present a series of marketing forums for NSW growers in 2009. The day will include a panel discussion session with representatives from Graincorp, AWB, AGA, CBH, Agfarm, Agrigrain, ABB and Louis Dreyfus. There will also be a review of the global financial crisis and its implications for grain marketing, presented by NAB and trade displays from industry representatives.
These marketing forums offer a “one stop shop” to help you make profitable, practical marketing decisions this harvest.
Partners in Grain are offering an early bird registration discount. Early bird registrations need to be submitted by 21st August.
 
The workshops will be held at the following locations;
