Tenant Farmers Association

The Tenant Farmers Association was formed in 1981 by a group of tenant farmers who felt that their interests were not being forcefully represented by existing bodies. Today, the TFA is the only organisation dedicated to supporting all farmers who do not own the land that they operate. This includes those involved in share farming agreements, grazing licences, contract farming arrangements as well as traditional tenant farmers. The TFA lobbies at all levels of Government for policies and legislation which assist those who do not own the land they farm and gives expert advice to its members. The TFA also seeks to support and enhance the landlord-tenant system in agriculture. The TFA represents and advises members on all aspects of agricultural tenancy, land occupation and ancillary matters. This nationwide involvement with selected land agents, briefed on latest rent trends from the TFA database, is unique to the TFA.
