The Grains Research and Development Corporation (GRDC) has appointed a new head to its Northern Panel, which covers growers in Queensland and NSW.<\/p>\n

Riverina grain grower Murray Scholz will chair the panel for the next three years.<\/p>\n

Mr Scholz succeeds outgoing chair Arthur Gearon, whose term concludes on August 31 after more than 10 years of service on the Northern Panel, including the past four years as chair.<\/p>\n

GRDC Board Chair Sharon Starick said Mr Scholz brought extensive grower, governance and industry experience to the role.<\/p>\n

“Murray is a highly respected grain grower and industry leader who brings a strong understanding of the opportunities and challenges facing Australian grain growers,” Ms Starick said.<\/p>\n

Mr Scholz joined the Northern Panel in 2023 and has been a grain grower for more than 40 years.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Northern Panel helps the GRDC identify and prioritise research, development and extension opportunities that support profitability and sustainability in the\u00a0 northern grains region.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
