Former AgForce Qld chief executive officer Mike Guerin will take over as CEO of the National Farmers\u2019 Federation on March 23.<\/p>\n

NFF president Hamish McIntyre welcomed the appointment, saying Mr Guerin had proven leadership capabilities and was passionate about ag advocacy.<\/p>\n

Mr Guerin is currently acting CEO of NSW Farmers.<\/p>\n

Prior to his AgForce role – which he filled for eight years – Mr Guerin was managing director of Elders Rural Services.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe NFF is agriculture\u2019s peak national body and I am truly humbled to be selected as its chief executive,\u201d Mr Guerin said.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m looking forward to taking a national lens to the agricultural issues I\u2019ve rallied for on behalf of Queensland and NSW.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m especially looking forward to making inroads in the member advocacy space, an issue I am very familiar with.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere is plenty of work to be done and I\u2019m excited to dig in.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
