Your membership means we can look after you. We are NSW Farmers’, the land is our lifeblood. While we can’t make it rain, we can make sure all levels of government and key decision makers understand what is happening in rural areas and respond accordingly.
Your membership contributes to the lobbying power needed to maintain our strong presence in the Federal and State political arena.
Without a collective voice for farmers in NSW, there would be no one fighting for farmers’ interests on a local level and working to protect
and grow the agricultural industry.
Your membership continues to provide the Association with a strong voice at a political and community level.
Together we’re a force to be reckoned with!

We work hard to develop effective working relationships with key politicians and public servants to represent your farming concerns and to achieve effective legislation that benefits you.
Our partnerships with our Sponsors help to keep your membership fees low. Whether you’re a flower grower in the Sydney Basin or a wool producer from the back of Bourke, your membership ensures we can protect and grow the business of farming.
