In part two of this special three-part series, host Sam Fryer sits down again with former AgForce Membership Officer Janice Tressler for an honest and reflective conversation about the rise, decline, and future of agricultural membership organisations.

In the early years of AgForce, membership quickly grew to nearly 10,000 producers as agriculture rallied behind one united voice. But over time, membership numbers declined and today, the landscape of industry representation looks very different.

Janice also shares her personal reflections from decades spent working directly with producers across Queensland and what she believes organisations like AgForce need to do moving forward to remain relevant.

This is a thoughtful conversation about advocacy, culture, membership, and the changing face of agriculture in Australia.
