Turning a sow's ear into a silk purse Sue Middleton RIRDC Rural Woman of the Year

摘要

Western Australian (WA) pig, grain and citrus farmer Sue Middleton - a passionate advocate for turning piggery waste into usable energy - is the winner of the 2010 Australian RIRDC Rural Women's Award. Citrus Australia was fortunate to have Ms Middleton, whose farm is based at Moora 177 km north of Perth, as its guest speaker at this year's Conference dinner. To say it was a thought provoking and inspiring speech would be too much of an understatement so Australian Citrus News elected to re-print the speech in its entirety.
