Six years after they found themselves on a national animal activists' interactive map, these dairy farmers are devastated that information about their operation is still online. @NSWFarmers @ChrisMinns #protectourfarms

What makes a good leader? Compassionate, empathic, integrity, vision. As the nation heads the polls, it's a shame it takes two young women at the Sydney Royal to show what real leadership looks like. #auspol #federalelection

Most people shudder when 300mm falls in less than 24 hours but not this dairy farmer. But they are bracing for more from the low as Alfie moves across land, which is good news for those in western NSW #CycloneAlfred #flooding @NSWFarmers #weather

It's clear these young offenders pose a threat....and there needs to be processes in place so these young people are not turned into our future professional criminals and 12-year-olds can be 12-year-olds. #nswpol #auspol #police #crime

Yet another pest from Qld is making its way further south into NSW, while farmers - who are the frontline in this fight - find themselves in a losing battle due to inadequate state government support via @NSWFarmers #agchatoz #nswpol @ChrisMinnsMP

We talk a lot about the trials and tribulations in agriculture because, let's face it, anything this good is worth fighting for.

Every week politicians debate about Australia's energy security and what that looks like. But there is one thing they can't argue about and that's the rising cost of our power bills.

With energy security shaping up as a key election issue for 2025, @thelandnews wants to gain better insight into what Australians think about the best way forward.

Plenty of farmers agree FMD is a serious concern but unlike the government, and even with a short-term rebate on tags and equipment as a carrot, they're still not entirely convinced on eID #agchatoz #nswpol #nswfarmers
