Our history

AgForce was born out of the need for a single, united voice for broadacre producers with the merging of the Cattlemen's Union of Australia, the Queensland Graingrowers Association and the United Graziers' Association in 1999.

Each of these organisations represented their respective members on agri-political issues. Together, the three groups had a vision of bringing broadacre producers in a single, unified association. This organisation is now known as AgForce Queensland Farmers Limited.

Our success has been built on the strengths of our predecessor organisations, but we have also embraced many different philosophies in its aim to ensure the long-term growth, viability, competitiveness, and profitability of broadacre industries.

Our organisation

AgForce is a not-for-profit which has over 5500 members. Our structure comprises of a state board, four commodity boards, and five regional councils supported by staff under the management of a Chief Executive Officer.

AgForce's leadership team is made up of representatives elected by our membership.

Our elected representatives work alongside a dedicated team of policy and regional staff as the voice of primary producers, their families, and regional communities.

The AgForce board sets the policy direction for the organisation and identifies its agenda of priority policy areas every two years. These priorities strategically target the issues thought to be most important to Queensland broadacre agriculture.

Committees

We have a selection of primary producers who contribute to the future policy direction of the organisation and the agricultural industry.

The priority policy areas are resourced with dedicated policy development committees made up of skilled and passionate members with experience in the relevant policy area.

Committee members are selected through an open nomination process from within the membership.
