The Farm group Property Rights Australia is the be congratulated on being the first farm organization in Australia to recognize the Agmates community and utilize its media.
Since founding the Agmates community 2 years ago our biggest detractors and most resistant groups have been the established farm organizations.
Isn’t that incredible. At Agmates we work tirelessly for the betterment of rural and regional communities and the farm organizations have worked tirelessly to block us.
Agmates has been very critical of many of these organizations, but we are also quick to hand out praise, where its due. As we clearly state , we support anything that is good for rural and regional communities and we are critical of anything that is not. We make no apologies for that. We hold those that are supposed to represent us accountable.
PRA Director Chris Leeds
I personally congratulate Property Rights Australia and their board on moving on from the ‘last century’ model of farm activism to embrace this new and powerful medium.

I also congratulate Christopher Leeds on leading the way for the Property Rights Australia members into the brave and powerful new world of multimedia.
As Warren NSW Farmer Rob Wass said to me yesterday.
“Using the Agmates Community has lead me to realize that we farmers are still operating in the 1950’s era. The Green groups and others that have been running rings around us for years have been using this media to communicate and influence.
We think being active is writing a letter to the Land (NSW) newspaper and hoping they will publish it. This is instant communication with people we have never met but are going through exactly what we are, even though they may be in Western Australia.
We (farmers) might be well behind the eight ball, but when we get onto something we catch up in a hurry.”
