There are many fascinating pockets of Aussie agriculture and Grace Griffiths is keen to explore them all.
A few years ago, Grace created 101 Ag Pathways to showcase the plethora of roles and career pathways into agriculture.
Grace is an agronomist, cotton grower, GIS specialist and part of her family business Data Ag, based in Goodiwindi QLD.
She chats about the chaos of juggling multiple roles, how her side passion project is opening doors to a new generation of ag professionals, and why Bayer's crop innovation is shaping a more sustainable and attractive cotton industry.
