Farmers need access to centrefire, semi automatic rifles for killing pests, claims hunter Stewart Hydes.

The Wool Industry Working Group has found common ground that all players in the industry agree on, says chairman Miles Anderson.

Federated Farmers says it is disappointed an exemption won’t be made for farmers who need semi-automatic rifles for pest control.

Farmers are throwing their support behind tougher firearms legislation proposed by the Government.

Federated Farmers' meat and wool council is calling for compulsory regulation of stock agents.

In an irony not lost on free-marketers, Federated Farmers — in which farmer membership is voluntary — supports imposing a compulsory levy on all wool growers.

Farmers are urging the Government not to forget them when it comes deploying more police officers to fighting organised crime.

The proof of the pudding will be in the eating following the Wool Summit, says Feds meat and wool industry group chairman Miles Anderson. 

Farmers are being overwhelmed by pressure to comply with new regulations.

New Federated Farmers meat and fibre chair and board member Miles Anderson says he’d like to see the mainstream news media take a more balanced line on reporting farming issues.
