Rural Australia is evolving at a rapid pace not unlike other sectors of the community. Farmers today employ the latest technologies to remotely harvest crops, scientifically analyse soil, map properties, track cattle, predict and model weather and much, much more. Today’s farmer is a successful, well–educated agribusiness person. 56 Their average net worth is in excess of $3.4 million and they have 84% equity in their businesses (source: ABARES 2011–12). Farmers also have the same consumer needs as everyone else and for advertisers this offers a unique situation of the business and consumer market in one package. We deliver our agricultural content via FarmOnline as well as our six mastheads across the multiple platforms of print, online and mobile apps. The content is state based and reflects the agricultural industries operating in each. We also produced some of the biggest and most respected agricultural events in the country, including AgQuip and FarmFest. 57 • AGRICULTURAL MASTHEADS North Queensland Register 58 Queensland Country Life The Land Site: northqueenslandregister.com.au Site: queenslandcountrylife.com.au Site: theland.com.au Published: Thursday Published: Thursday Published: Thursday Key market: QLD Key market: QLD Key market: NSW Based in Townsville, the North Queensland Queensland Country Life has been firmly The Land is the 2014 non–daily regional Register circulates in the northern and entrenched as Queensland’s major rural Newspaper of the Year (PANPA).

Across the country Macquarie Radio Network engages and 66 entertains with the best commercial presenters. Their News, Talk and Music stations have the proven expertise gained from operations extending over 80 years. They also operate vibrant Syndication and SMA (Satellite Music Australia) divisions to capitalise on audience reach and client services. 67 • MACQUARIE RADIO NETWORK – TALK The Essence of Talk Talk radio can be risky business – like trying to trap mercury in your hand. Yet the Macquarie Radio Network attempts to do just that and so much more. On any given day the debate may include an interview with a jailed people smuggler; what makes tennis dads barking mad; a tooled–up police raid on the home of a contract killer or even what colour crocs a bloke should wear to the opera. Sometimes talk’s just information: is the freeway at a standstill? Will you need a brolly, or are interest rates on the rise? It can be an interview with Neil Young or the Arctic Monkeys. It inspires when a VC winner tells how he stood up for his mates in the face of withering fire. 68 A rumour or whisper in breakfast can provide a lead story for the evening news. But Talk is always about the listeners. They have opinions they want heard, solutions to offer, wrongs they want to right. Listeners define us. Our essence is in their Talk hopes, dreams, fears, frustrations, smarts, sorrow, anger, kindness and compassion.
