The Landcorp Farming Lecture (formerly the Livestock Improvement Corporation Lecture from 1996 to 2003) is a scholarly address made at the Society's Annual Conference. Each year, a distinguished animal scientist is invited to the Annual Conference to make the address. The intention is that this prestigious lecture will contribute to maintaining the objectives of the Society and enhance the scientific and technical merit of the Conference. ------------------------------ The Landcorp Lecture has been discontinued as of December 2016. 2014 P.H.
