Pastoral Industry Survey (2004)
"I am delighted to write the foreword for this very important document. The detail and simple logic of
the presentation of the material is a credit to all who contributed.
This document will provide a realistic and important benchmark for each region and the Northern
Territory industry as a whole to update and compare with on a regular basis in the future.
Read
in conjunction with the Pastoral Land Board’s annual report it will give an excellent view of the health of our resource base and the beef industry to the discerning potential investor and others interested.
It demonstrates the environmental management responsibilities that have been widely embraced by industry participants.
The real and measurable outcomes of production noted in the document is a graphic example of the pastoral industry’s lead agency working, with good extension services, to assist industry as was intended from the beginnings of NT self government.
I am happy to recommend this document as a strong indicator of the NT beef industry for anyone who is introduced to it."
