👏👏👏Congratulations Simphy on well deserved recognition!
Simphy is an integral part of the #northernfarmingsystems team, adding valuable pathology insights to the various systems across our sites.
Thanks Steve 😁
@theGRDC @GRDCNorth @s_simpfendorfer
😎The man, the myth (??), the legend!!!
A HUGE CONGRATS to Simphy who was awarded the 2025 Brownhill Cup at the annual @AgQuip Grower Forum 2025!
Well deserved by someone who can complex disease scenarios into farm ready solutions….normally with a few jokes thrown in!
