FMC CORPORATION RAISES FUNDS FOR ROYAL FLYING DOCTOR SERVICE FOR FIFTH CONSECUTIVE YEAR

Sydney, December 19, 2022 – FMC Corporation, an agricultural sciences company, has joined forces with rural retail stores across Australia to donate almost $70,000 to the Queensland section of the Royal Flying Doctor Service (RFDS) through the promotion of FMC’s Graslan® Aerial3D® HiLoad herbicide.

FMC’s Graslan® herbicide promotion ran from May to October 2022, donating to the RFDS for every tonne of product sold in participating outlets. Now into its fifth year of the promotion, the donated amount of $68,293 surpasses FMC’s previous annual donation by over 40 percent this season.

“A special thanks to Queensland graziers for their continued support of FMC’s aerial service of Graslan® herbicide, and also thanks to Elders and other retail partners in north and central Queensland who participated. Their local experience and support of this promotion year-on-year allows us to contribute to the great work that the RFDS does in their communities,” said

FMC Area Business Manager Andrew Burrows.

RFDS has been a cause close to the hearts of the FMC team who live and work in regional Queensland and who believe it is essential to keep the Flying Doctor flying.

RFDS Townsville Nurse Manager Elizabeth Ferrier thanked FMC for its ongoing support, “The services we provide could not exist without the generosity of supporters like FMC, who have now raised a total of more than $146,000 for the Flying Doctor in Queensland. Donations such as these are critical in helping us continue to deliver and expand services, have the latest medical equipment and supplies, invest in new aircraft and infrastructure, and deliver first-class training for our crews – ensuring we can continue to provide life-saving care for regional, rural, and remote communities, yearround.”

“By donating to the RFDS, we know the money is benefitting people in rural and remote communities, and that we are helping to overcome the barriers to healthcare access that many regional Australians face. We look forward to being able to match or better this year’s donation next season with another Graslan® Aerial3D® HiLoad promotion, continuing our support of this vital work to assist those that live in country Australia,” said Burrows.
