Walgett and Coolah farmers will have a chance for their say on local issues when heads of NSW Farmers roll through later this month.

The group's president Xavier Martin will attend a meeting at Walgett on 20 March while board members Jane and Tony Hegarty will attend in Coolah on 18 March.

They are two of 12 meetings taking place in areas like Moree, Inverell and Tamworth, aimed at helping the body form their agenda.

“All of our advocacy wins – be it independent biosecurity and agriculture commissioners, or more money for feral pig control – started at the grassroots with motions from local branches," Mr Martin said.

"So your say matters, and we want to hear your thoughts on how we build a stronger farming future.

“It’s brilliant to see our branches come together to workshop solutions to these challenges that can be put forward as motions to our Annual Conference and ultimately, serve to drive our policy and advocacy."

Officials can expect a broad range of issues on the agenda, including renewable energy, rural crime, and feral pig control.

NSW Farmers Walgett Branch chair Cameron Rowntree has his own list of issues, notably what he called "sh*t" mobile service which he said has worsened since Telstra's 3G shutdown in October 2024.

"It's really hard to run a business without connectivity, and it's been on the agenda for some time," said Mr Rowntree, who has a property about 15 kilometres north-east of Walgett.

Mr Rowntree also said he wants to see greater farmer access to government funding.
