24.01.2022 Congratulations to Don Jones on becoming a TFGA life member after many years of working tirelessly on our Wildlife Policing and Firearms committee.

23.01.2022 Right across Tasmania, workers are needed to bring in the harvest. Earn money, improve your fitness, get outdoors, meet new people and build a career in a vibrant, growing industry. Tassie farms need pickers, drivers, sorters, packers and pruners, so if you need a job and would like to do your bit, go to www.dpipwe.tas.gov.au/harvest-jobs or call 1800 062 332

23.01.2022 Did you know that the exotic pest Brown Marmorated Stink Bug (BMSB) is a serious threat to Tasmanian agriculture due to the damage it could cause to vegetable c...rops, fruit and ornamental trees? BMSB can also be a nuisance pest for humans due to its habit of seeking shelter in large numbers in houses, factories and machinery over winter. Fortunately, BMSB isn’t present in Australia, however the high-risk season for BMSB is September to April, when it may be found hitchhiking in containerised cargo and on vessels from countries such as Italy and the USA. We can all help protect our country and our State from exotic pests by looking out for hitchhikers, like BMSB, in imported products SEE IT. SECURE IT. REPORT IT. Find out more about BMSB at: https://www.outbreak.gov.au/curr/brown-marmorated-stink-bug

20.01.2022 Just like people, whenever sheep move there’s a chance they’ll take diseases, pests or weeds with them. When preparing to buy or sell sheep, make sure they have... all the appropriate documentation, including NLIS tags, an NVD, and a Sheep Health Declaration. Find out more at https://bit.ly/3bFy9hm
