Who We Are
Established in 2013 as an independent research, development and extension-based organisation, Tablelands Farming Systems is a progressive, innovative, farmer-led group. Our aim is to help farm businesses be more profitable and resilient in the face of shrinking support for traditional research and extension services and increasing volatility.
Collectively TFS members farm over 60,000 hectares of the Southern Tablelands, run nearly 250,000 sheep and over 10,000 head of cattle. TFS members extend across a wide variety of enterprise types including wool, beef, meat sheep and cropping. Our members own and/or lease their farmland or run enterprises on behalf of other individuals or organisations.
Tablelands Farming System:
- Is owned and driven by members.
- Provides evidence-based research outcomes.
- Creates opportunities for members to learn, interact and exchange ideas.
- Establishes mutually beneficial partnerships with government, corporate and private organisations in pursuit of our objectives.
TFS and its members are passionate about profitability, sustainability and resilience. The group exists solely to help members achieve their individual goals, while collectively realising our region’s agricultural potential.
