“The AgVocateWA committee is a group of enthusiastic, young leaders in the agricultural sector of WA. With a diverse range of experiences and connections they will be able to provide a breadth of events and opportunities for youth in WA agriculture. They have organised and well executed several sizable events that cater to upcoming ag professionals, such as the Keep the Sheep Gala and former annual forums under another banner.
