3 NORTH COAST NATIONAL OCTOBER 2012 Celebrating Australian Year of the Farmer Australian Year of the Farmer is about celebrating and enriching the connections between rural and urban Australia. We want you to take time out of your busy day to think about how farming affects your life, there s more to this agribusiness than meets the eye. It s not surprising to see the North Coast National team take up the batton for Australian Farmers- Farmers are the life blood of the Show and will be proudly celebrated as part of this year s event, says John Gibson, Show President is officially titled "The Australian Year of the Farmer and celebrates the hard work of everyone involved in producing, processing, handling and selling products from 136,000 farms across the country. The concept has grown into a national celebration, and this year, Lismore s own North Coast National will be joining the celebration. Farming is so important to our nation, we need to support our local farmers in every way we can. With the show in its 127th year, its nice to know that some traditions remain, and that the show still continues to engage the community in farming life. It reminds us that our farmers sustain the Australian way of life and the economy.
