Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Tapping Into the Wheatbelt's Creativity
Q: What motivates you to bring storytelling into the regional space and mentor young people?
There is immense talent in the regions that often goes unseen; sharing professional storytelling helps amplify regional voices, empowering young people to see that ambitious creative careers are viable close to home.
Tapping Into the Wheatbelt's Creativity
Q: Can you describe how technology enabled you to participate in the Wheatbelt lunch from Sydney?
Technology, especially Zoom, made it possible to join the Northam lunch remotely while still attending the festival, demonstrating that regional voices can stay connected and active regardless of distance.
Kimberley Beef and Wheatbelt Celebrations
Q: What does PY433i offer canola growers and how is its naming system structured?
Lisa explains PY433i as Pioneer Seeds' newest IMI-tolerant canola hybrid for 2027, highlighting strong blackleg resistance and early growth. She then details the naming convention: P for Pioneer, Y for Australian series, the numbers for maturity and identifier, and the last letter for a trait.
Kimberley Beef and Wheatbelt Celebrations
Q: What does this WA Women in Agriculture State win mean to you and Kapco?
Allison shares that the recognition was partly a surprise given the anonymous nomination, and notes the journey from the Kimberley to Perth and then Canberra as a significant milestone for the project and community impact.
Kimberley Beef and Wheatbelt Celebrations
Q: Can you tell us about Kapco and what you do in the Kimberley?
Allison explains Kapco as Kimberley Agriculture and Pastoral Company, a 100% Aboriginal-owned entity operating four properties with a herd that includes Brahman, droughtmaster, and shorthorns, and describes Kapco Beef as a major part of their work.
