Federated Farmers is crediting the coalition government for a surge in farmer confidence.
Confidence within the sector has reached its highest level in more than a decade, jumping from a dismal -66% in July last year to 2%.

He says announcements around emissions pricing, freshwater farm plans, and on-farm costs is helping the sector.
