The Tasmanian Farmers & Graziers Association (TFGA) is the peak agricultural body representing the interests of Tasmanian farmers and there is no organisation better positioned to represent the concerns and needs of our agricultural sector.
TFGA's key purpose is to ensure a positive business environment for its members by providing effective representation, leadership to industry and communication with stakeholders. We also have a close affiliation with
National Farmers Federation, Sheepmeat Council of Australia, Cattle Council of Australia, Australian Dairy Farmers, WoolProducers Australia and AusVeg.
Through these affiliations we are able to ensure that Tasmania's views and
issues are considered at a
national and international level.
The TFGA offers benefits to all members. These include our FarmCard, which is designed to provide members with
identifiable discounts on purchases. We also have alliances with a number of sponsors and business partners who proudly support the Association. If you wish to know more please click on the Members Benefits button on the left hand menu.

National Farm Day
24th & 25th May 2008
Calling all Farmers!
Would you like the opportunity to show city folk what life is really like on the farm?
The aim of the Day is to bridge the city-country divide by giving city families the chance to be
matched with farming families and spend a day on the farm.
The first Farm Day was organised in Victoria in 2006 by Ballarat sheep producer Deb Bain.
Meat & Livestock Australia put some funding in to make it a national annual event.
Farm Day 2007 was the first-ever national Farm Day with 362 families enjoying
a day of “fun, friendship and understanding”.
This year more urbanites than ever want to experience farm life and more farmers are
needed to take part in the weekend.
For more details on how to get involved visit www.farmday.com.au or call 1300 36 70.
