It is a busy time as I prepare for my global focus tour which takes me to Australia, India, Qatar, Turkey, Ukraine, France and Switzerland. Matt Tees is going to be writing BEEFLINK while I am away and everyone is pulling towards the departure. After a warm greeting by fellow Nuffield scholar Matt I am off to meetings with Meat & Livestock Australia and Cotton Australia before leaving for Melbourne. Watch this blog for a little glimpse of the world in which we live.
