As we begin the new year, it’s worth reflecting on the challenges and opportunities that defined Queensland agriculture in 2025 - a year marked by strong engagement, meaningful reform and close collaboration across our members, producers, industry partners and government.Early in the year, QFF and industry partners welcomed the reinstatement of the 80:20 funding split for works on the Bruce Highway. QFF continues to ensure that agriculture is considered in all future works on the Bruce through our role on the Bruce Highway Advisory Council.Queensland experienced catastrophic flooding across the state in 2025, particularly in the West and Far North. In May, after a decade of advocacy by QFF, CANEGROWERS, Cotton Australia and QFVG, the definition of primary producer was updated, expanding access to disaster assistance and allowing crop replacement to be included in disaster grants.Project highlights included the Crisis Communications Training Program and SmartAg Queensland. In 2024–25, SmartAg delivered safety training to 2,653 farmers across 35 growing regions, while the Crisis Communications Training Program gave growers and industry representatives the skills to manage crisis situations with confidence.2026 will be an important year for our members, with CANEGROWERS Australia marking 100 years, Cotton Australia’s Cotton Conference returning to the Gold Coast, and Queensland Fruit & Vegetable Growers welcoming a new CEO. QFF looks forward to working with our members to drive a productive and resilient future for Queensland agriculture.Read more in our first President's Column of 2026 👇 bit.ly/49IRuPS ...
