Qld farmers want to see parties' plans

The Liberal National Party and Labor have no new plans for agriculture, Queensland farmers say.

Agriculture is one of the four key sectors of the state's economy the Newman government has promised to grow, but it has gained little attention in the state election campaign.

The Queensland Farmers Federation says the LNP has only announced some funding for roads and research, while Labor has pledged to change land clearing and water laws.

QFF chief executive Dan Galligan called for both parties to release their plans and policies for agriculture this week.

"Farmers and the greater community need a clear picture of a prospective government's plan for this important sector of the economy as well as sufficient time to digest policy suggestions," he said.

But the LNP said it would not introduce a swag of new policies because that was not the way to deal with agriculture.

Agriculture Minister John McVeigh said the party would stick to its existing policies, which had been developed with the industry and focused on the long term.

He pointed to the LNP's drought relief programs, weed and wild dog control, reduction of cane and grazing property run-off into the reef, a review of fisheries management, a net fishing buyback, and its comprehensive forestry and timber industry plans.

Opposition Leader Annastacia Palaszczuk said agriculture spokesman Anthony Lynham "was working on (Labor's agriculture plans) at the moment".

"It will be announced during the campaign," she said.

Queenslanders go to the polls on January 31.
