A group of concerned farmers residing on the outskirts of Gobabis are demanding usable agricultural land.

The farming community sought an audience with the regional leadership to address the issue, as farming within the municipal area is against the law.

Erongo Governor Neville Andre is happy with the rental fee collections from government resettlement farms in the region.

Andre, who was speaking at the two-day Erongo Farmers Conference at Omaruru, says the collection is a huge improvement as farmers ignored this in the past.
