RIC team talking AgriStarter Loan at Beef 2021, 2
The Regional Investment Corporation (RIC) is pleased to join the line-up at Beef 2021 in Rockhampton this week to provide information and answer questions on its loans, including the new AgriStarter Loan for new farmers and succession planning.
CEO Bruce King said he is looking forward meeting with the beef industry and talking about how RIC loans might benefit their farm business by improving their resilience, profitability or providing a long-term option for succession planning.
“We know succession planning is an essential part of many inter-generational beef operations and it’s important to get it right, which is where our AgriStarter Loan might be able to assist,” he said.

Subscriber only Visitors had the chance to learn how to cook the perfect steak from former MasterChef contestants at Beef Australia on Monday. Former MasterChef contestants Courtney Roulston and Michael Weldon held a cook off on the Coles stage, with the first session focusing on steak. Courtney, who appeared on MasterChef in 2010 and 2020, said her top tip is to get the steak out of the fridge 45 minutes before you are going to cook it. You want it almost the temperature of your hand before it goes in the pan, she said. Otherwise if you get a cold steak in the pan, it is going to be pink in the centre and grey on the outside.
