Chester urges farming focus
Mr Chester said, "As we form agriculture policies ahead of the next federal election, it's a good opportunity to showcase our region's strengths in the sector and highlight the concerns we have with the direction being taken by the Albanese government."
"Our region has a proud history as a provider of high-quality food and fibre but we need the government of the day to get the economic and regulatory settings right to ensure our farming families remain viable and have a long-term future on the land," he said.
