However, the rally became one for all farmers issues, with speeches covering issues from property rights, mining and beef imports.

With the crowd not as big as the thousands predicted by organisers and former cattle producers Bob and Jeanette Jones, Coffs Harbous, one farmer at the rally said two rallies in a number of weeks was too much for farmers to attend during one of their peak seasons.

The rally continues a campaign started by hunger-striking farmer, Peter Spencer, and a mammoth protest in Canberra last month.

Speeches began at 9.30am with speakers such as sawmiller from Mathoura, Chris Crump, NSW Farmers Association senior vice president, John Ridley, radio announcer Alan Jones and State member for Barwon, Kevin Humphries, taking part.

Protestors travelled from as far as Bourke, Deniliquin, Tenterfield, Armidale, the Hunter Valley and the Central West.

Speaker at the rally, Chris Crump, who runs a sawmilling business on 344 hectares of private native forest at Mathoura in southern NSW, said he was hoping to rally support from other farmers and let city people know what is going on with farmers rights.

Organiser, Mrs Jones said one of the key outcomes of today's protest would be the establishment of a "property rights and right use of lands" committee.

She said 12 people would be invited to be part of the committee in the coming week, with a mix of both males and females she hoped would lobby organisations and governments.

"We'll definitely be forming a committee of 12 people who will represent various areas of farming on behalf of all farmers," Mrs Jones said.

As well, she hopes the rally will help "galvanise" the support of both country and urban residents to the cause.

"We want to unite the country with the city," Mrs Jones said.
