Tasmania has a rich and diverse agricultural industry that is becoming synonymous with quality produce not just in Australia but also overseas. When it comes to food, Tasmania s brand has real clout. The state s products range from prime lamb and premium grass-fed beef to pharmaceutical poppies, wool, wine, spirits, fresh vegetables, cereals and seafood. This industry is the heart of the Tasmanian Country, Tasmania s only major weekly rural newspaper, part of News Corp Australia. Our reporters are based around the state and understand the rural issues and the daily challenges facing those on the land. Tasmanian Country is free to every rural producer in the state so our news - and your advertising - is delivered right to their home every week. Readers can also connect to Tasmanian Country via Facebook and rural stories are available online every day through the Mercury s website. Tasmanian Country covers news, feature stories on life on the land, expert analysis and industry insight, the latest results from livestock sales, rural property sales and of course the weather. We are the voice of the land. Why Tasmanian Country?
