We were excited to have the producer, writer and main after of the new movie 'Just a Farmer'. Leila and Sean McDougall are farmers from Western Victoria who have moved into the movie business. This film, set in Tatyoon, Western Victoria, is a fascinating film funded and created by farmers and has a host of big-name Australian actors. Unfortunately, the AgWatchers were not picked up in the casting of this. The film is being released in cinemas around the country on the 21st of March; make sure you support local film production (and farmers) by going along. Watch the trailer by clicking here
