George Wilson was invited to present to the Agforce 360 Regional Conference of pastoralists in Charleville. He argued that landholders should regard the >30 million kangaroos on their properties in Qld as an asset rather than liability. Even on current market value they are worth more than $400 million. Agforce is considering changing its policy to actively support kangaroo industry notwithstanding significant prejudice and disdain from some cattle producers. If landholders become more involved in quality and management of supply through cooperative management the value will increase, potentially creating a margin for the Cooperative and landholders. Items about the presentation were run on ABC radio and Queensland Country Life.
