Pastoralists' Union Of New South Wales
The Pastoralists' Union of New South Wales was an association of landholders in Australia founded in 1890. In 1916 it was renamed Graziers' Association of New South Wales, one of the founders of the Progressive Party of New South Wales, which later became New South Wales National Party. In 1978, the Graziers' Association merged with the United Farmers' and Woolgrowers' Industrial Association of New South Wales to form the Livestock and Grain Producers Association of New South Wales (LGPA NSW), which in January 1987 changed its name to the NSW Farmers Association.

Progressive Party Of New South Wales
The Progressive Party of New South Wales was a New South Wales political party that operated between 1920 and 1927, achieving representation in the Legislative Assembly due to proportional representation. It was not a direct successor to the earlier Progressive Party that had operated in the state between 1901 and 1907 but did include members of the former party including George Briner and Walter Bennett. The party attracted support from conservative voters in both rural and urban NSW. As a result, its policies were socially conservative but had elements of agrarian socialism. At the 1920 election it won 15 seats. In December 1921, the party split over the question of support for the first government of Nationalist Party politician George Fuller. An urban wing, led by Thomas Ley and Walter Wearne, agreed to enter Fuller's coalition, but a rural wing ("The True Blues"), led by Michael Bruxner and Ernest Buttenshaw Ernest Albert Buttenshaw (23 May 187626 June 1950) was ...

Agricultural Organisations Based In Australia
Agriculture or farming is the practice of cultivating plants and livestock. Agriculture was the key development in the rise of sedentary human civilization, whereby farming of domesticated species created food surpluses that enabled people to live in cities. The history of agriculture began thousands of years ago. After gathering wild grains beginning at least 105,000 years ago, nascent farmers began to plant them around 11,500 years ago. Sheep, goats, pigs and cattle were domesticated over 10,000 years ago. Plants were independently cultivated in at least 11 regions of the world. Industrial agriculture based on large-scale monoculture in the twentieth century came to dominate agricultural output, though about 2 billion people still depended on subsistence agriculture. The major agricultural products can be broadly grouped into foods, fibers, fuels, and raw materials (such as rubber). Food classes include cereals (grains), vegetables, fruits, cooking oils, meat, milk, egg ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
