The Victorian Farmers Federation is an active, powerful lobby group dedicated to the interests of farmers and making a difference to communities. With a strong record of successful political advocacy and leadership, the VFF has generated substantial benefits for the agriculture sector since its formation in 1979. The VFF ensures farmers in Victoria have the freedom to operate their businesses, do so with the best available health and welfare practices and are kept informed about new and emerging ideas, technologies and markets. Our network of branches connects farmers across Victoria to identify and act on issues within their own communities. There are seven commodity groups under the banner of the VFF - dairy through the United Dairyfarmers of Victoria, livestock, grains, horticulture, chicken meat, eggs and pigs, and Flowers Victoria. Farmers' Fund is a commercial brand that is owned by the VFF for the purpose of delivering social impact from the sale of milk for on-farm innovation.
