Thank you to Fed Ag Minister @MurrayWatt for joining the #VFF at Farrer House to discuss the pressing issues for Vic ag including biosecurity, labour shortages, input costs & supply chains.
The Minister was keen to hear directly from local farmers on these issues #vicfarmers

We were there amongst the crowd in the heart of #Ballarat today in support of farmers impacted by the plans for the Western Renewables Link.
Farming families and fertile ag land in the path of the project must be protected #vicfarmers

This little fellow was found wandering a wheat crop!
Whats the most out-of-place animal you’ve found in your crops? 🤔
ARE YOU FUR REAL: A farmer has been left shocked after stumbling across a baby fur seal in his wheat crop this morning in South Australia.
The adorable pup somehow wandered three kilometres from the ocean to the farm, before being returned to his natural habitat. #9News

Fantastic to hear from Victorian Premier @DanielAndrewsMP & meet with new Agriculture Minister @GayleTierney today at the @RPCVic.
It’s a big year for regional Victoria and it’s great to see decision makers talk to both the current issues & opportunities on offer in our regions.

My No.1 takeaway from the #carbonneutrality panel:
- Step 1 is a carbon audit: by quantifying inputs and production system (no.s per head & weaning %) to calculate your emissions intensity range.
