The long-standing patron of the women in agriculture lunch is farmer and agribusiness woman Angela Betheras, who began the event when she was chairperson of Lardner Park. Lardner Park is where the Farm World field days are held.

Attendees at this year’s lunch heard from two guest speakers — ABC Landline journalist Pip Courtney and Angus commercial cattle and rare breeds pig farmer Katy Brown.
