Department of Natural Resources and Mines
Several successful writing and publicity projects have been undertaken for this Queensland Government department. A major promotion is introducing the unique Vegetation Incentives Program to landholders State-wide.
The Brisbane-based company Genetic Solutions specialises in the commercialisation of DNA technologies, principally for application in the beef industry. Agri-Prose was responsible for the media launch of the world’s first gene markers for production traits in beef cattle. On-going publicity has been generated including the successful nomination of Scientific Director Dr Jay Hetzel as the 2003 Beef Achiever of the Year. Agri-Prose has provided a range of services for this Program which is funded through Dairy Australia Ltd.. These range from an introduction brochure and annual report to media releases and production of a dairy animal welfare booklet. Several writing projects for this major Sydney publishing house include co-authoring the book Sustaining a Nation which marked one hundred years of agriculture in Australia. A companion volume on the mining industry Forging a Nation has now been produced.
