A Legacy under threat.
Across the country, many farms struggle to make it beyond the third generation. Our family is proud to say we’ve bucked the trend. We have maternal generations 6, 7 and 8 working side by side, and our paternal line continues a six-generation farming story. You could say it is in our blood.
This isn’t just business. It’s history, identity, and a future we’re determined to protect.
But right now, for us and many of our country cousins that future feels uncertain.
Farm succession in Australia is already complex — balancing family, fairness, financial pressure, and the reality that land is sometimes “asset-rich but cash-poor.” And now we add Government and their policies into the mix.
The reality is simple:
When policy overlooks how farms actually operate, it risks undermining intergenerational farming itself.
We’re not just managing land — we’re carrying forward generations of hard work, knowledge, and resilience. And like thousands of farming families, we want to ensure the next generation has the opportunity to continue that story.
Because once a family farm is lost, it’s rarely recovered.
We need to ensure policy supports — not hinders — the families feeding the nation. And right now many in the bush feel like their cries are falling on deaf ears. We need our city cousins to hear us, discover how and where their food comes from and make a stand before we all lose out!
