Why are some Australian farmers losing faith in peak agricultural bodies to represent their interests?

Because the peak agricultural bodies represent the agricultural industry; they don’t represent farmers.
The agricultural industry consists of Petrochemical companies providing fertilisers and herbicide, machinery manufacturers and biological media providers.
The farmers, who are the ones who are doing the work, are only the consumers of the agricultural industry.
It is like expecting a Chamber of Commerce to respect the needs of the workers.
