Kim Hughes attended the Mingenew Spring Field Day on September 4 in Mingenew, as a special guest speaker. He delighted growers with numerous anecdotes from his days as one of the Australian cricket legends and more recent stories as a dad and community member. He was given the hard task of keeping the crowd motivated after lunch and succeeded beyond expectations. Kim also generously posed and autographed pictures. All throughout the day, Kim was down to earth, approachable, funny and was very well received by our growers, industry and research partners and sponsors. MIG would like to thank him for the great job he did and would not hesitate to use him again. Mingenew Irwin Group
