Vice-president's report: Change of direction

AFG has attempted to fill the vacuum left by the demise of PFDCs by the formation of area specific branches. For example, in Western Australia AFG is represented by Wheatbelt, South West and South Coast AFG branches. The branches hold field days and seminars; help facilitate Master Tree Grower courses; and undertake judging for the Tree Farmer of the Year Award. Of course, our core business is that of representation of our members both politically and at industry level.
