THE NFF has released its 2012 Federal Budget Submission, calling on the Government to secure funding for key agricultural programs for the coming year.
The NFF said it has recognised that this year's Federal Budget will be tough, given the Government's commitment to bringing the Budget back to surplus in 2012-13 - however, this does not mean neglecting key opportunities to invest in growth sectors of the Australian economy, like agriculture.
The NFF Budget Submission outlines ten priority areas for funding of the farm sector by the Federal Government, including infrastructure, research and development, coal seam gas research, labour, skills and education and environmental programs.
