Agfest Field Days 2026

Wonderful to have the Federal Leader, Angus Taylor MP in northern Tasmania today for the biggest agricultural event in the state’s calendar, Agfest Field Days, Tasmania
We heard from farmers and industry stakeholders concerns about taxes and foreign ownership of agricultural land. Tasmania is the food bowl of the country and it’s vital we continue to support our farmers for our future food security.
Huge congratulations to Rural Youth Tasmania for another enormously successful event showcasing Tassie agriculture and all that goes with it!
