The VFF CEO and President are Coming to Town

The Victorian Farmers Federation (VFF) is coming to town and they’re hosting a “town hall” to meet with you, the wider farming community.

Open to all members of the agricultural community, this is a great opportunity to tell the relatively new VFF CEO, Charlie Thomas and VFF President, Ryan Milgate what’s on your mind and how they can help shape a stronger agricultural industry.
