A MESSAGE FROM THE NSW FARMERS
GRAINS COMMITTEE CHAIR
NSW Farmers is working for their members to achieve outcomes that matter to them. Having a grassroots structure means your issues will be heard. A lot of agricultural policies farmers and stakeholders now take for granted may not have come about were it not for the efforts of members and staff of NSW Farmers.
As well as advocacy information and education, the regional services manager network is able to keep members abreast of current topics and are able to call on NSWFA resources to answer specific questions.
It is important that for NSW Farmers to continue to represent the interests of farmers and stakeholders they have a strong membership base to ensure they have both the resources and collective input to achieve these goals.
As the chair of the Grains Committee, my priorities are to lobby for reduced supply chain costs and ensure farmers can benefit from increased competition. Right to farm is critical for our members, so we’re making sure you can operate your business effectively; we are at the forefront of advocacy to access new and existing chemistry, including glyphosate. NSW Farmers is also leading the national conversation around insurance models to help with long term funding proposals.
We are stronger together. The more members we have, the more powerful we become.
