Mr Rogers, Gooloogong farmer Janet Moxey and Hay farmer Duncan Fraser each received a Medal of Honour on the first day of the 2009 Annual Conference, held this week.
NSW Farmers’ Association President Jock Laurie says the recipients have each been recognised for their long-standing commitment to the ideals of the Association.

“I have had the great pleasure of serving with John Rogers on the board of the Association.
“John was first elected as an Association Director in 2003, and he continued to serve on the Board for a further five years.
“John has also held many other positions at the Association, including serving as Chair of Region 13 (North Coast) and the Horticulture Committee, and as a Member of the Agricultural Chemicals and Pesticides Implementation Committees, and the Biotechnology Taskforce.”
