Hi, my name is David Rowe and I am a local farmer from Mullewa. I work in our family-owned farming business alongside my parents and two brothers, continuing a family connection to agriculture and regional life. My education began at Our Lady of Mount Carmel before attending Mazenod College and later Cunderdin Agricultural College, where I developed both practical skills and an appreciation for the agricultural industry. Following school, I completed a four-year diesel mechanics apprenticeship with AFGRI Equipment in Wongan Hills. Returning home to farm was an easy decision. I am passionate about agriculture and enjoy the challenge and reward that comes with working alongside family to build a sustainable and successful business for the future. Beyond farming, I care about the future of Mullewa and regional communities. I believe strong communities are built through connection, opportunity and people willing to contribute. As a Rural Ambassador, I would welcome the opportunity to represent our region, promote agriculture, and encourage the next generation to see the value and opportunities that country life provides.
The Rural Ambassador Judging and Dinner will be hosted in Mullewa on the 8th of August 2026.
The Rural Ambassador Competition is a National Competition aimed at young rural adults who have a passion for living and working in rural communities.
The competition aims to discover the next generation of rural leaders who have the desire to represent and promote their community, their region and their state. Successful entrants are given the opportunity to meet and network with likeminded representatives from around the state, around the country and around the Commonwealth. You will meet state and federal decision makers and leaders in agriculture and education, be able to input your point of view, ask the hard questions and make important contacts.
You do not have to be a ‘university graduate’, you just need to have the desire to stand up for Rural Australia, have a basic agricultural and rural knowledge, and be prepared to ‘have a go’. You will experience some tough competition, make lifelong friends and have a damn good time.
So if this sounds like you, contact Mullewa District Agricultural Society Secretary for details – P.O. Box 92 MULLEWA WA 6630 or info@mullewashow.com.au
