FarmLink Research has been managing the Temora Agricultural Innovation Centre on behalf of Temora Shire Council for over two years.

Ms Cindy Cassidy, FarmLink Research CEO said partnering with Temora Shire Council to secure the future of the former Agricultural Research Station has allowed us to make a valuable contribution to agricultural research and education activities in the region.

“We are proud of the role we have been able to play in saving the station and reinvigorating agricultural innovation in NSW,” said Ms Cindy Cassidy, FarmLink Research CEO.

“Through management of the facility and the extension activities taking place on a regular basis we are providing farmers and the community with new practices and tools to achieve profitability, productivity and sustainability.”

“From a practical perspective consolidation of staff and resources at the Temora Agricultural Innovation Centre will ensure more efficient and productive operation of the commercial and trial functions at the Centre and within the FarmLink business,” Ms Cassidy said.
