The Hughes family has completed several projects with NQ Dry Tropics , including the Meat & Livestock Australia ( MLA ) Regenerative Grazing and Integrated Weed Management Producer Demonstration Sites ( PDS ).
Their interest in being part of the PDS projects was because of their holistic integrated approach to improve business productivity and profitability .
