Beef council holds future summit

Posted August 21, 2008 13:39:00

The North Australian Beef Research Council (NABRC) is in western Queensland today hoping to identify the issues likely to impact on the north's cattle industry over the next four years.

The council's chairman, John Cox, says he expects the industry will remain strong, despite the ongoing dry.

He says its important the council meets industry stakeholders.

"NABRC does not conduct research in its own right. It brings together the producer, the scientist, the researcher and the funds provider and we act as an alliance between those three groups and provide a forum for the research that is required," he said.
