A deluxe print reference edition to serve and celebrate our nationwide farmers and their communities.

Multi-national specialist publishing company One Mandate Group is thrilled to announce that the next deluxe print hard copy of THE AUSTRALIAN FARMER (TAF) is being released in early 2026!

Many consider this, given the sheer and authority of the content, to amount to a major publishing event for the Australian agricultural industry. And a one-of-a-kind national showcase this decade of the “best of the best” of advanced agriculture in Australia plus frank and fearless discussion on the future direction of the industry as a whole.

Distinguished authors, in what will be a 240 page-length lavish publication include:

Gary Northover, CEO of Irrigation Australia David Cameron, Director of DRF Prof Sergio Garcia, Prof Matt Tucker at Adelaide University, Chair of Australian Seed Authority, CEO of Cattle Australia Dr Chris Parker, CEO of Waterfind Tom Rooney, CEO of AgUnity David Davies, Zen Kynigos at ProdOz International, CEO of Australian Horse Industry Council Mark Burnell, NSW Rural Fire Service Commissioner Trent Curtin, State President of QCWA Tamara Stephenson, Former Chairman of GPA Andrew Weidemann AM, former President of Australian Agritech Association Andrew Coppin, Chair of International Year of Rangelands and Pastoralists Dana Kelly, Dr Jay Katupitiya at UNSW, CEO of PIEFA Luciano Mesiti, and Founder of #CapTech Raman Bhalla. 

The Print Book

A primary rationale for embarking on this massive undertaking is to simply do something very special for our underappreciated farmers and those that support / supply to them. And to arm them, for the long term, with something durable on the best kept secrets on the state of the art on agricultural science-technology-innovation. For all areas of agriculture across the whole country.

Another key mission is to educate, influence, and inspire our country’s youth (especially teens located in regional-rural Australia): “tomorrow’s” farmers and agricultural leaders.

Various organisations, including allied agricultural peak bodies, TAF authors, TAF sponsors, and others with links to Australian farmers / regional-rural Australians, young and old, are being invited to have a role in physically distributing some or many of the 10,000 copies of this publication. Many are planning to use the book as the ultimate farmer (and regional HS student) prize, award, gift, and also for rural property living rooms, board rooms, CEO offices, and high school classrooms. Tens of organisations have already eagerly committed in recent days so, at this rate, stocks may become low within a month or so.

The hard copy book will be richly illustrated, have cover stock with flaps, and be perfect bound too. We anticipate it will be read, passed along, revisited, and admired for 1-2 years. For educational, professional development, and leisure purposes. And become a collector’s item for every forward-thinking farmer in Australia.

TAF is delivered as a social enterprise by a small team. 1MG runs TAF as a Not For Profit i.e., a cost-recovery business model. But we can do prodigious things for farmers at the national level by adopting “power of collaboration” + “strength in numbers” principles.
