LOTE — Welcome to ABGC Grower Support (Biosecurity)

On the ground

These activities will be led by the Grower Support and Engagement Officer, Maurice Thompson. If you haven’t yet met Maurice, he’s got a wealth of experience and a strong, practical approach to helping growers.

Before joining ABGC over six months ago, he worked on a range of biosecurity responses including banana freckle, green myrtle virus, browsing ants and Asian honeybee. Coupled with 25 years in hospitality, he’s ready for a chat or to head out into the paddock.

As he said when he first took on the role, it’s about providing full support to growers. “That might mean taking a phone call, or it might mean visiting them on-farm. It’s about being available.”
