AGL has urged farmers blockading a NSW dairy farm to allow its workers to do their jobs safely.
Farmers started gathering at the farm, outside Gloucester, north of Newcastle, yesterday afternoon after the coal seam gas company began bringing equipment on to the property.
About 20 farmers gathered there this morning in protest.
The company has permission from the farmer to begin exploration on the property but farmers on surrounding land want seismic and water studies done first.
"It's not up to individual people to let them on because it's everybody's water that is threatened by it," said Drew Hutton of Lock The Gate, a farmers' protest group.
