NFF elects its third president this year

QUEENSLAND grazier Brent Finlay has been named president of the nation's peak farming body, the third person to occupy the top job this year.

The National Farmers Federation (NFF) elected Mr Finlay, a veteran farmer with 25 years experience in agriculture, on Monday to take over from outgoing president Duncan Fraser.

Mr Fraser had only been at the helm of the NFF since April, when former president Jock Laurie stepped down to run an ultimately unsuccessfully campaign for NSW parliament.

Mr Finlay, who runs a sheepmeat, wool and beef property with his three daughters, paid tribute to the outgoing president.

"Mr Fraser ... has led NFF for the past seven months, through a tumultuous period in federal politics that has seen three agriculture ministers and three Prime Ministers hold their respective offices," he said in a statement.

"Now, as we enter a period of, we hope, relative political stability, it is time to get the focus away from politics and back onto policy."

Mr Finlay was elected at the NFF annual general meeting and members' council meeting in Canberra, where elections for vice president and board director positions are currently underway.
