NORTH West graziers aired their concerns over the steady march of the coal seam gas (CSG) industry into the region at Wednesday's AgForce North regional meeting in Julia Creek.
AgForce policy director Drew Wagner said landholders were apprehensive of the industry which has proved so contentious in the south of the state and in New South Wales.
"They have massive concerns regarding the sustainability of the industry and the assumed number of these projects that are going to be in the region," he said.
Mr Wagner said AgForce was focused on protecting the rights of producers in the North who may not receive as much attention for their plight as those on more arable land.
