Scenic Rim Farming Expo Showcases Innovation and Local Passion
The Scenic Rim Farming Expo delivered a brilliant day of connection, innovation, and celebration of our thriving local agriculture industry.
From high-tech solutions to homegrown produce, attendees were treated to the very best of the Scenic Rim. A highlight of the day was meeting Larry Rauschenbach from Precision Ag Services, who gave an impressive demonstration of how drones are revolutionising farming — boosting precision, efficiency, and sustainability.
We also caught up with Troy Muller from Peak Veggie Patch, whose passion for tomatoes has taken him around the globe in search of the best varieties. The result? Some of the freshest and tastiest tomatoes in the region.
And who could forget the real crowd-pleaser — an exceptionally well-behaved calf from Boonah State High School that stole the show.
Did you know Scenic Rim agribusinesses contributed $276 million to GDP in 2021? Days like today highlight just how important and forward-thinking our local producers and ag leaders are.
A huge thanks to everyone who made the day a success — we’re proud to be part of such a vibrant agricultural community!
