NSW:NSW farmers to blockade CSG company

Farmers in the NSW Hunter Valley are setting up a blockade to stop a coal seam gas
company from entering a local dairy farm.

Farmers started gathering at the farm, outside Gloucester, yesterday afternoon, after
AGL started moving equipment on to the property.

DREW HUTTON from the Lock the Gate Alliance says about 20 farmers are expected to be
there by later this morning, warning AGL will be blockaded if it continues to move the
drilling equipment onto the property.

The company has the dairy farmer's permission to begin exploration, but farmers on
surrounding land want seismic and water studies done first.
