The association will hold its annual conference at Deniliquin on Thursday, August 4, and Friday, August 5, under the theme “Looking forward, looking back”.
“The one thing we can be sure of is the world will continue to change around us, particularly in terms of technology, policy settings, the climate and business opportunities,” Mr Morton said.
“In order to remain competitive and harness opportunities these changes may present, we all need to be able to adapt to change quickly and effectively.”
Guest speakers at the conference, to be held at the Deniliquin RSL Club, include former Queensland premier Campbell Newman, who now is a director and board chairman at Swarm Farm Robotics.
Country Women’s Association’s NSW chief executive Danica Leys and Mike Wade, Californian Farm Water Coalitio, will also speak at the conference.
