00:00I'm Sharon Starrick and I'm a grain and pork producer in the Murraylands of South Australia.
00:06I'm also the chair of the Grains Research Development Corporation and the chair of the
00:11Council of Research Development Corporations. It truly is very humbling to have been nominated
00:19for the Women in Ag Award. Over the last 20 plus years it's been an absolute honour and privilege
00:26to serve in leadership positions both as a board director and as a chair and to be able to
00:35make a difference work with some really fantastic minds and make a difference to the future of our
00:45industries. I'd like to use this nomination to continue to support and encourage women to take
00:55on roles in leadership within our food and fibre industries as well as continuing to promote
01:04the opportunities for young people to have a great career in agriculture. Thank you.
