industry since 1996. He is
exceptionally trained in
the red meat processing
sector, being a former winner of the Australian
Intercollegiate Meat Judging Competition. Cye

Australia Grading Assistant Manager. This has

eating quality experts in the red meat industry.
Cye has a large range of qualifications within
the meat specification and product grading. Cye
has also been involved in the forefront of farm
management innovation, managing a large scale
pastoral company, Chandler River Pastoral

Patrick Hutchinson has
spent a decade working in
the agricultural industry in
Australia and is well known
for his comprehensive
understanding of the red
meat supply chain. He
knows the people and the
organisations that shape
the industry, who to talk to
and how to talk to them, and understands
the issues and the priorities of the
different industry organisations. Patrick
began his career in the meat industry at
the Australian Meat Council in 1998,
working on behalf of the meat processors,
initiating negotiations with producers,
agents, saleyards government and other
industry bodies to address issues affecting
meat processors. In 2003, Patrick moved to
Meat & Livestock Australia (MLA) where he
was responsible for the creation,
development and implementation of one of

performance feedback. Patrick was a
former winner of the Royal Agricultural
Society Rural Achiever of the Year and the

Improvement Association of Australia.
