Emma Ayliffe
vice chair
Emma Ayliffe is an agronomist, specialising in cotton, who prides herself on analysing the science behind crop production and making this applicable to growers. “It is my job to help my growers reach their potential and overcome obstacles. I also like to think of myself as an advocate for agriculture as a whole, whether it be the local cotton growers association, the GRDC Advisory Panel or just a helper at a field day to be part of the team and the voice that represents agriculture.”
Carving a successful agricultural career with her own agronomy business Emma is grateful and appreciative of the direction and opportunities given to her by others, and wants to give this same support and guidance to the next generation.
“As youth we are the future and it is up to us to shape how we want our industries and our world to look. It is important for us to forge the way for the generations after us, to collaborate with young and old, to bring fresh ideas and perspective and, ultimately, to speak up and represent the people around us.”
