Fiona Simson has become a household name in Australia, not least because of her role as the first ever female president of the National Farmers Federation, but for passion and grace while serving in the role. Fiona has orchestrated remarkable positive transformations for the Australian agricultural sector. Originally from a property just outside of Armadale in New South Wales, Fiona met her fourth generation husband Ed in Sydney, before settling at Gunnedah. The fertile black soil of the Liverpool Plains is where they raised their two children, Tom and Jemima, and continue to farm alongside Tom and his young family. Fiona's grounded in affable nature positions her seamlessly as an industry leader, allowing young women around the country to envision a viable career in rural Australia and the agricultural realm.
