Then-Queensland Rural Ambassador Justin Matthews opening the 2017 Proston Show<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

September 25, 2017<\/strong><\/p>\n

Justin Matthews is a young man going places in agriculture.<\/p>\n

Justin has been a familiar face around South Burnett shows for some time, but especially this year in his role as the 2016 Marsh Rural Ambassador.<\/p>\n

But now he has gone one step further.<\/p>\n

On Sunday, Justin – who grew up on a cattle property near Goondiwindi before moving to the South Burnett – was named National Rural Ambassador at a dinner held at the Taylors Lakes Hotel, near Melbourne.<\/p>\n

After spending Saturday at the Royal Melbourne Show, all State finalists from Australia and New Zealand were interviewed by four judges on Sunday afternoon.<\/p>\n

They also were asked to deliver speeches on the topic:\u00a0“What makes your Agricultural Show unique?”<\/p>\n

Justin began his climb to national fame when he won the Rural Ambassador title at the Nanango Show in 2015.<\/strong><\/p>\n

But this wasn’t his first taste of rural shows … he had also volunteered as a steward and announcer in the cattle ring at Nanango.<\/p>\n

Justin then went on to win the Sub-Chamber title, and was sent to the 2016 Brisbane Exhibition to represent the South Burnett.<\/p>\n

He took out the Queensland title at the Ekka, the beginning of a busy year as he attended many Queensland shows in his State role.<\/p>\n

When he opened the 2017 Proston Show in March, Justin told the crowd his passion for agriculture had taken him far, and that was a message he wanted to share.<\/p>\n

Justin’s passion has now taken him to the National Rural Ambassador title.<\/p>\n

Congratulations!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
