FARMERS DISAPPOINTED_10TH SEP 2026

Are farmers being blackballed in Corland? Hear firsthand accounts of crop larceny, excessive red tape hindering access to land and loans, and a broken promise of a megafarm project. Farmers are facing significant financial losses and a lack of support, despite efforts to engage with officials.

One farmer recounts losing over $30,000 in three years due to perennial crop theft. Imagine harvesting a field one day, only to find it reaped by thieves the next – a yearly nightmare for these hardworking individuals. The promised megafarm project has yet to materialize, leaving farmers struggling to improve and expand their operations.

Access to land and securing loans remain major hurdles, with bureaucratic processes described as excessively slow. Despite numerous meetings and pleas for help, the farmers feel their concerns are falling on deaf ears, with promises of action ultimately disappearing.

There's a call for a performance review of secretaries and assistant secretaries within the THA to ensure accountability. With a deadline of nine months for improvement, the hope is that this will finally lead to meaningful change and support for the agricultural community. This is a critical look at the challenges facing farmers and the urgent need for effective solutions.
