Central West Farming Systems is a farmer organisation that was set up to do agronomic research in the central west of NSW. Based at Condobolin it is run by a committee made up of farmers from a wide area and focuses on cutting edge research that is relevant to producers in the area. It has been an up and down ten years with constant searching for funds but currently the group employs 5 people and is going from strength to strength.
To help celebrate their 10 years a women's symposium was organised with many excellent speakers and over 100 women in attendance. This was followed by a dinner in the evening with a significant number of those involved in the setting up of the organisation and keeping it running over the years coming together. As a former committee member I have a beaut time catching up with good friends and colleagues but more than that, I enjoyed celebrating 10 years for a farmer driven organisation that is doing significant research and is making a difference.
