In this episode, we sit down with Dave McKeon from the Adelaide Hills — a farmer at heart and one of the most influential voices in Australian agribusiness. As President and Chair of Agribusiness Australia and Head of Thomas Elder Sustainable Agriculture, Dave brings a rare blend of grassroots perspective and national leadership.
We dive into the real-world impact of his work advocating for farmers and regional communities at the government level, unpacking what actually gets done — and what still needs to.
Dave also shares his take on the challenges and opportunities shaping Aussie agriculture today, from resilience on the ground to policy at the top.
With a career spanning CEO of GrainGrowers, senior roles at the National Farmers’ Federation, and the Commonwealth Department of Agriculture, Dave offers a candid, inside look at the forces driving the future of farming in Australia.
