FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Australian Year of the Farmer partners with Faircount Media Group’s Sydney office to celebrate the importance of farmers to Australia’s agricultural fabric.

Faircount Media Group’s Sydney office will work in collaboration with the Australian Year of the Farmer organisation to produce a perfect-bound, soft cover, commemorative publication to celebrate all things Australian farming. Editorially speaking, the publication will offer compelling, informative content across a range of areas such as trade and economy, the Australian way of life, and the agribusiness sector.

The Australian Year of the Farmer publication will represent not only the organisation itself, but also illuminate the vital role farmers play in feeding, clothing, and providing building materials to house us all. Accompanied by rich illustration and with a working release date of November 2012, the publication is expected to act as the centerpiece to the final conference and expo in December.

As the brainchild of NSW farmer Phillip Bruem and former Sydney Markets CEO Geoff Bell, Australian Year of the Farmer is a yearlong celebration of the farming industry’s contribution to the nation’s economy and its prosperity. As a non-political, not-for-profit organisation, supported by the Governor-General Ms Quentin Bryce, Australian Year of the Farmer will remind all Australians how integral farming is to the country’s national identity and agricultural innovation.

Transitioning from a mere concept to a large-scale homage to Australian farming, the project aims to secure existing, and forge extended, connections between rural and urban Australia. Far reaching events, initiatives, and education programs are to unfold throughout the year and will benefit both regional and metropolitan communities across all States and Territories.
