Farmers call for resources to tackle pig plague

Clinton Maynard

Clinton speaks with NSW Farmers President Xavier Martin, who stresses the urgency of addressing the escalating feral pig crisis, citing their devastating impact on agriculture and biosecurity.

He calls for increased funding and resources, emphasizing the inadequacy of current measures.

Martin, a grain grower from Mullaley on the Liverpool Plains, urges government action in the upcoming state budget to prevent further escalation of the problem, stressing the necessity of coordinated efforts to combat this significant threat to farming communities.
