A MESSAGE FROM THE NSW FARMERS
HORTICULTURE COMMITTEE CHAIR
I joined NSW Farmers in 2004 because I wanted to have someone on my side when there are threats to the horticulture industry. NSW Farmers offers my business protection when problems arise, e.g. urban encroachment and spray drift. We also benefit from industrial relations services to help manage our workforce.
Becoming a member gave me a bigger voice to get results from government. NSW Farmers has led a major change in getting the governments to recognise horticulture as part of the broader agricultural industry. This means we’re now eligible for drought support, and we’ve benefited from programs such as flying fox netting subsidies.
As the chair of the Horticulture Committee, my priorities are keeping family farms sustainable, allowing our sons and daughters to continue managing the farm, and generally getting a better deal for farmers.
We are stronger together. The more members we have, the more powerful we become.
