Welcome to Farm Writers

The Farm Writers' Association of NSW holds monthly lunches and regular evening functions to bring people involved in farming, food and fibre together with agribusiness leaders and rural journalists, to discuss issues and developments in the NSW farm sector.

The Hon. Chris Minns MP, Premier of NSW to address Farm Writers

Farm Writers Lunch
Friday 28 March 2025 (12pm for 12:30pm)

We are delighted that the Premier, the Hon Chris Minns MP, has accepted our invitation to speak at Farm Writers about his government’s plans for agriculture and regional New South Wales as he hits the half-way mark of his first term in office.

Coming off the back of a bumper season for farmers across New South Wales, strong commodity prices and favourable seasonal conditions, what opportunities and challenges does the Premier foresee for our $20bn+ food and agribusiness sector, and how will government policies enable a vision of a $30bn agriculture industry by 2030?

Join us for this not to be missed Farm Writers Lunch where the Premier will share his thoughts and take your questions.

Trump, tariffs and (free) trade

Farm Writers Lunch
Friday 23 May 2025 (12pm for 12:30pm)

Do free trade agreements mean anything with the second coming of President Donald Trump, who in his first few months in office has demonstrated a willingness to favour tariffs, ‘the most beautiful word in the dictionary’?

We are fortunate to be joined by one of Australian agriculture’s fiercest and longest-standing free trade advocates, Andrew Robb AO, to explore what it means for Australia – and whether we still have a trump card to play.
