The moment leadership became real: TRAIL Emerging Leaders program

Young agronomists Anne Millar and Lachie Biglin share how the TRAIL Emerging Leaders program changed the way they think about leadership, relationships and their own potential. From hiking and camping without phones to honest conversations, journaling and building a nationwide network, both participants discovered that leadership isn't about having one particular style — it's about understanding yourself, recognising others and finding your own way to make an impact.

GRDC continues to invest in future grains sector leaders through six sponsored places in the 2027 TRAIL Emerging Leaders Program. The scholarships are valued at $15,000 per participant and are available to early-career grain growers, advisers, agronomists and researchers. TRAIL is delivered by the Australian Rural Leadership Foundation and has developed more than 200 emerging rural leaders, who join a national ARLF alumni network.
