Just a taster as we start talking to the community again about who we are and what we do #notbeforetime .... 👍✅ No actors needed - our Aussie farmers are talent enough!

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/f…

A career highlight - a mighty little agency doing vital work, deploying Australia's deep expertise in agricultural and environmental science on the biggest challenges of our time. @SenatorWong @afsnsw Best wishes to @WendyUmberger and the great ACIAR team!

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?

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/82…

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 … @NationalFarmers @MurrayWatt

This is historic.
Australia's first raw sugar shipment to the United Kingdom in 50 years is being loaded in Townsville.
Only possible because of our new free trade agreement with the UK. Great news for our sugar producers & great news for all Aussies.

Great to see some strong dosti (friendship) being formed between our delegation of Australian food producers & Indian importers/processors. Personal connections like this are a key part of building the trade relationship between 🇦🇺 and 🇮🇳. #AusIndECTA

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.

Independent research undertaken over a number of years by an independent science-based organisation debunks push-polling and spin by @RSPCA any day … @NationalFarmers @AustLiveExports @MurrayWatt

🐑 Public confidence in the live export industry has grown “significantly” in recent years, according to a new independent report that challenges the Federal Government’s claim the trade has “lost its social licence”.

Always great to catch up with Fiona & DJ from @NationalFarmers.
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.

For almost a decade, we've worked with two successive governments on a way to reward farmers for their stewardship of the land. @afsnsw 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/gre…
