September 12, 2024<\/strong><\/p>\n

Grain grower Sharon Starick has been announced as the new chair of the Grains Research and Development Corporation (GRDC) Board.<\/p>\n

Ms Starick, from South Australia, will be the first woman to lead the large rural research and development corporation when she officially takes the reins on October 1.<\/p>\n

The GRDC is responsible for investing\u00a0more than $240 million each year in research, development and extension for Australian grain growers.<\/p>\n

\u201cSharon has been on the GRDC Board since 2018 so she has an in-depth understanding of the business,” GRDC managing director Nigel Hart said.<\/p>\n

“She is a highly intelligent, highly capable leader with an extensive knowledge of agriculture and natural resource management.<\/p>\n

\u201cShe is a grain and pork producer from the Mallee region of South Australia, so she also brings the hands-on practical understanding and experience of farming that is invaluable for a grower-focused organisation like GRDC.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

Mrs Starick, who has a degree in Agricultural Science from the University of Adelaide, replaces outgoing GRDC Board Chair John Woods, a Goondiwindi grain grower who has led the organisation since 2016.<\/p>\n

“John has been an inspirational and visionary leader for GRDC and under his guidance the organisation has grown in size, scope and impact, investing in RD&E that delivers genuine, tangible benefits to Australian grain growers and the wider industry,\u201d Mr Hart said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
