Birchip grain and livestock farmer, John Ferrier, has been elected Chairman of the Birchip Cropping Group (BCG).
Mr Ferrier replaces Berriwillock grain farmer, Caroline Welsh who has stood down after leading the organisation for seven years.

Ms Welsh will continue making her invaluable contribution as a Farmer Member of the BCG Board.
“It is with mixed feelings that I step down, knowing the exciting future and opportunities ahead for Australia’s broadacre farmers but I think now is the time for the organisation to refresh and I’m delighted to continue my involvement with the Board,” Ms Welsh said.
