Mullaley farmer Xavier Martin
Mullaley farmer Xavier Martin is the new leader of Australia’s largest state farming organisation.
Mr Martin was elected NSW Farmers President on the first day of the organisation’s annual conference, and thanked members for their support.
“It’s humbling to be elected president and I look forward to maintaining the momentum on key issues such as biosecurity and productivity,” Mr Martin said.
“We are looking at ways to secure the future of farming, and a big part of that is giving members their voice at our conference.
“I look forward to seeing the result of these motions and working on progressing those issues with decision makers and industry groups.”
Mr Martin previously served as NSW Farmers Vice President, and spearheaded efforts to secure government support during the mouse plague.
Former NSW Farmers Treasurer and Moree farmer Rebecca Reardon was elected unopposed as deputy. Trangie farmer Peter Neil Wilson was elected unopposed as Treasurer.
