National Ag Day is led by the National Farmers Federation (NFF) and involves a broad coalition of industry groups, corporate business and government. The day aims to celebrate Australian agriculture and raise awareness of the role it plays. The theme for the 2019 event is ‘We Are Australian Farmers.’

AgriFutures Australia, the Graham Centre and RDA Riverina support Australian farmers through research, innovation and regional development to improve sustainability and profitability.

 In the new campaign, ‘We Are Australian Farmers’ the NFF is highlighting that we are all part of the cycle of Australian agriculture, in this cycle research and development is crucial to helping agriculture and our regional communities thrive.

We recognise that many farmers are battling tough seasonal conditions and we’re pleased to be able to show support for the sector and raise money for drought relief, with funds donated to the Country Women’s Association.

The event has been made possible with the support of Junee Rotary and CSU Cheers.
