AgForce Northern President Russell Lethbridge said the field days would have the latest industry information from a diverse range of speakers and a chance for AgForce to get feedback about priorities.
"AgForce representatives will discuss the recent vegetation management debate and reiterate that the fight is only just beginning for fair laws for farmers."
Mr Lethbridge said Meat and Livestock Australia would be attending the meetings to outline where cattle markets were heading and the opportunities for producers in coming months and years.
"Domestic and international cattle markets continue to hold firm and there is renewed hope that we will soon see a new live export market out of Weipa, which would provide a massive boost for northern producers," he said. The town hall Field Days are at Einasleigh, Monday August 29, 9am to 4pm, Gregory, Friday 2 September, 9am to 4pm, Camooweal, Monday September 5, 9am to 4pm
The 'Tackling Real Problems with Practical Solutions' event will be held at Croydon, Wednesday August 31, Matron Morrow Hall, 9am to 7.30pm (day concludes with free barbecue and entertainment)
