Michael & his family have installed 6m high netting across most their orchards to cut down wind to reduce blemishes that make the fruit worth less. But here Michael shows us blemishes are only skin deep. Do you judge an orange by its cover?

A huge shock tonight. I’ve been honoured to work with Simon in a number of roles over the last decade and greatly respected his support, advice and dedication to our industry - in particular the people in it.

We’re shocked and saddened to learn of Simon Crean’s passing. He was a passionate defender of farming and free trade, and made a lasting contribution to #AusAg well beyond his time in office. Our thoughts are with his family. #auspol

Always great to catch up with Fiona & DJ from National Farmers' Federation.

Farming is the economic backbone of so many regional communities around Australia, & an essential part of our economy more broadly.

The Govt is working hard to negotiate improved market access for farmers abroad.
