(TheLand) - GOVERNOR-General Quentin Bryce used her Australia Day address to highlight the importance of careers in agriculture and the vitality of farmers for all Australians. Speaking in a televised address from the Yarralumla Woolshed, Ms Bryce said 2012 would be a year to celebrate farmers and their work. She said the Australian Year of the Farmer would help to remind Australians that many essentials of daily life were connected to farming. “Year of the Farmer will inform Australians about the advantages of working in agriculture – about those quiet achievements of farmers that benefit all of us, and so many people overseas,” she said.
