  • Kim Hughes attended the Mingenew Spring Field Day in September, as a special guest speaker. He delighted the audience with numerous anecdotes from his days as an Australian cricket legend and more recent stories as a dad and community member. He was given the hard task of keeping the crowd motivated after lunch and succeeded beyond expectations. Kim also generously posed and autographed pictures. All throughout the day, Kim was down to earth, approachable, funny and was very well received by our attendees, industry and research partners and sponsors. MIG would like to thank him for his great job he did and would not hesitate to have him again.
