00:00Darren, what's the agricultural feature of the Melbourne show this year?
00:15It's always the animals and the people that bring them along.
00:18Ag is super important to what we do, it's in our heritage.
00:21But the thing that we do for agriculture is we give a chance for a whole lot of people
00:25who live in the city who don't get a chance to see animals and farmers, see how amazing
00:30these animals are and how much care we take of them.
00:33It's one of the best things we can do, and these two are getting a bit feisty on me,
00:36it's one of the best things we can do and the smiles it puts on people's faces from
00:39getting to be around animals, which is something they don't get to do except for the show,
00:43is really important.
