This year, our fifth annual National Agriculture and Related Industries day, we had planned one of the biggest celebrations ever to mark our appreciation of all those in agriculture, and this important National day. Unfortunately with the uncertainty of COVID restrictions, we had to postpone our event. Please join us in the Whitsundays next National day, November 21 2022.

National Agriculture & Related Industries Day is our day to come together and hold celebrations around the country to acknowledge the over three hundred thousand hard working men and women across our essential industry.

We are a supporter of the government changing its policy where pension arrangements are concerned, so that pensioners can work should they so choose, without onerous tax resulting from their decision to work. “Hancock is a very patriotic company that supports investment in Australia, primary industries and jobs in WA and Australia. When mining does well, Australia does well.”

Henschke says he was pleased to see Gina Rinehart has come out and talked about this, noting business leaders watching them tonight are saying they need the workers to be able to do the jobs they require at the moment.

“Hancock recognises the shortage of staff Australia-wide disrupts many projects and delays supplies,” Mrs Rinehart said. “We are a supporter of the Government changing its policy where pension arrangements are concerned, so that pensioners can work should they so choose, without onerous tax resulting from their decision to work. “Hancock is a very patriotic company that supports investment in Australia, primary industries and jobs in WA and Australia. When mining does well, Australia does well.”

They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old: Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn. At the going down of the sun and in the morning. We will remember them.

The Courier-Mail columnist and Sky News Queensland editor Peter Gleeson spoke to Gina Rinehart, Hancock Prospecting Group’s executive chairman, about her continued support for Australian athletes and the country’s Olympic programs.

A CLEVER strategy to ‘take the hard work out’ of accessing quality cattle from the remote Kimberley region for buyers in southern and eastern Australia has paid big dividends for Hancock Agriculture’s Fossil Downs station near Fitzroy Crossing. We’re lucky to be able to deal with these Fossil Downs Droughtmaster steers, that definitely command respect in the marketplace,” Mr Walsh said.

“You would get goosebumps. It made you feel really good,” she said. “But going to Brisbane is not an option for many South Burnett children. I want to bring that experience here to the South Burnett.” She said the trophies that had been crafted for the competition, donated by Hancock Prospecting Pty Ltd, were “really cool” and businesses will want to put them on display. The competition is about Christmas spirit, not necessarily the size of the display.

In the statement, Hancock chief executive Garry Korte said Mr McKillop had been charged with making the company’s agricultural division the leading agricultural business in the country. “We have made a head start, changing cattle care culture at Hancock, so that all our staff appreciate that, ‘happy healthy cattle are the best cattle’,” Mr Korte said.

Billionaire Gina Rinehart has appointed agribusiness heavyweight John McKillop to lead Hancock Agriculture Australia’s second-biggest producer of beef, with 25 properties in its portfolio. “I look forward to working with John towards making our agriculture division, even better, whilst also being mindful of government policies that hurt the whole industry,” she said.

We are pleased to confirm the appointment of John McKillop as the Chief Executive Officer of Hancock’s agricultural interests, including as the CEO of Kidman & Co, commencing on 1 November. John has an outstanding agricultural industry background, having held senior positions in multiple large, diversified agricultural businesses and industry bodies.John McKillop said “I am excited to be joining Mrs Rinehart and the teams at Hancock and Kidman. I have watched the rapid expansion of this business, together with the important improvements Garry has referred to, and what has been achieved is truly outstanding. I am looking forward to working with a Chairman and Boards that are focused on further growth, who are active with innovation and continuing with industry-leading standards in employee safety and animal welfare.
