Massina takes over as Ricegrowers' president

Home for Mr Massina is between Finley and Jerilderie, where he jointly operates irrigation properties with his wife Ainsley, focusing on rice, lamb, wool and grain production. "I want to see our rice industry continue to prosper well into the future. There are very few agricultural industries that can boast the complete supply chain and marketing strategies achieved by the Australian rice industry," Mr Massina said.

Executive director Graeme Kruger said the staff of RGA are looking forward to working with Mr Massina who will represent the interests of ricegrowers and continue the quest for a fair and reasonable Murray Darling Basin Plan and one that does not result in additional negative social, economic or environmental impacts for irrigators, communities and industries.
