For almost a decade, we've worked with two successive governments on a way to reward farmers for their stewardship of the land. Fiona Simson says it would be 'heartbreaking' to see this fall over so close to the finish line. More here 👇 #agchatoz #auspol nff.org.au/media-release/…

Always great to catch up with Fiona & DJ from National Farmers' Federation. Farming is the economic backbone of so many regional communities around Australia, & an essential part of our economy more broadly. The Govt is working hard to negotiate improved market access for farmers abroad.

We’re shocked and saddened to learn of Simon Crean’s passing. He was a passionate defender of farming and free trade, and made a lasting contribution to #AusAg well beyond his time in office. Our thoughts are with his family. #auspol

A huge shock tonight. I’ve been honoured to work with Simon in a number of roles over the last decade and greatly respected his support, advice and dedication to our industry - in particular the people in it.

After so many years incredibly excited to see this coming to fruition. A win-win for both the UK and Australia which is exactly what FTA’s are meant to be … National Farmers' Federation Senator Murray Watt

Our agriculture sector is already seeing the effects of climate change. Helping the sector to adapt is vital to our farmers’ future. Looking forward to partnering with the sector to build on its emissions reduction efforts, and help it continue to grow. stockandland.com.au/story/8274293/…

Michael & his family have installed 6m high netting across most their orchards to cut down wind to reduce blemishes that make the fruit worth less. But here Michael shows us blemishes are only skin deep. Do you judge an orange by its cover?

Farmers told us importers should contribute more to Australia’s biosecurity operations. Now they are - $51M more in just 6 weeks since we moved to full cost recovery. That’s $51M more than the Coalition collected under their failed container levy. countryman.com.au/politics/feder…
