04.01.2022 #BackOnTrack highlights the important role farmers will play in our nation’s recovery from COVID-19, through the everyday extraordinary efforts, read more here. https://farmers.org.au/backontrack/

02.01.2022 Six farmers - including Katherine's Henry Burke - are the faces of a new initiative by the National Farmers’ Federation to highlight the important role of agric...ulture and the bush in Australia’s COVID-19 recovery. During these challenging times, the importance of locally-grown, fresh, healthy and safe produce has come into sharp focus, NFF President Fiona Simson said. Throughout the pandemic, Australian farmers have continued to grow the fruit, vegetables, meat, dairy, eggs, and grain we all depend on. Now, with many other parts of the economy suffering, agriculture and the people behind it, have another job to do: to accelerate our nation’s return to the better times we have become accustomed to. #BackOnTrack looks at how the everyday extraordinary efforts of farmers from different sectors and regions have continued to produce food and fibre to sustain Australians, to stimulate the local and national economies and to create and maintain jobs. https://bit.ly/3cntNh4
