On-farm theft
Rural crime is a major issue for farmers across NSW, costing millions of dollars each year. Theft of livestock, machinery and fuel along with trespassing, and property damage continues to threaten farm businesses and rural communities. These crimes not only cause financial loss but also disrupt daily operations and impact the wellbeing of farming families.
Improving farm security is one of the most effective ways to reduce the risk of rural crime. Installing farm security cameras, motion sensors, and smart farm surveillance systems can help you monitor activity around sheds, paddocks, and machinery.
NSW Farmers works closely with the Rural Crime Prevention Team. A number of resources are available to assist farmers prevent and respond to rural crime on their properties.
