Who are we?

Agricultural Contractors of Tasmania Inc. (ACTI) is a significant force in the States rural sector. Its heritage includes the Steam Threshers Men’s Association that formed in the late 19th century, which probably represented the first time the rural contractors united.

By the 1970’s the increasing complexity of modern agriculture demanded a new collective approach. The Mersey Valley Farming Contractors Association was formed in 1973, followed by its northern and southern counterparts. These three Associations agreed to link and form a Statewide body. By Broadening the base of contract work from the traditional haymaking and cereal harvesting, to include cultivation, sowing, spraying and many other specialised operations, the Association has grown into the dynamic organisation it is today.

Its aims and objectives include: to work with the agricultural industry, to set standards of ethics and workmanship and to show responsibility and consideration contractors have toward the farming sector.
