National Farmers’ Federation says expectations on peak bodies are changing but rejects suggestions it prioritises agribusiness over grassroots concerns
Because the peak agricultural bodies represent the agricultural industry; they don’t represent farmers.
The agricultural industry consists of Petrochemical companies providing fertilisers and herbicide, machinery manufacturers and biological media providers.
The farmers, who are the ones who are doing the work, are only the consumers of the agricultural industry.
It is like expecting a Chamber of Commerce to respect the needs of the workers.
