Summary
The overarching objective of the PGS program is to encourage and support red meat producers to improve their management skills, to increase profit. The key role of the leadership team is to provide support to the national and state coordinators in delivering their roles and mentor deliverers to build their capacity. My priority in this reporting year has been on investing time to assist finalising the P curriculum and sourcing funding to customise PayDirt curriculum to the NT in order to have something concrete to promote the PGS concept with. The substantial achievement has been in supporting the work invested in producing high quality coaching material in subject area’s identified as being of priority importance to increase the profitability of NT producers. These materials will enable more emphasis to be placed on trainer capacity building and producer recruitment into coaching programs in the next 12 months.
Objectives
The aim of this position on the leadership team was to;
• Provide technical expertise to ensure the materials being produced were relevant to NT producers.
• Utilise my networks to gather stakeholder feedback as to the relevance of PGS for NT producers, gauge interest of potential deliverers and participants.
Benefits to industry
• High quality coaching curriculum has been produced.
• Potential deliverers have been engaged with the program and are interested to deliver PGS programs.
• Participants have shown interest in being involved in PGS programs and have indicated support for a coaching approach to achieve adoption.
MLA action
MLA continues to deliver the Profitable Grazing Systems (PGS) program, supporting participants to have the opportunity to develop and practice skills with small groups of like-minded producers to improve business performance.
