T&H Packaging Expands Partnership Program to Support Farmers During Economic Uncertainty
The global agricultural industry faced unprecedented challenges during the Covid-19 pandemic, with farmers experiencing significant disruptions due to labor shortages, supply chain interruptions, and increased operating costs. These hurdles caused financial strain, especially in key agricultural regions like the United States and Australia. However, amid these difficulties, new solutions have emerged to help farmers weather the storm. One of the most promising is the cooperative partnership model, offering farmers both financial relief and a path to greater stability.
According to a recent report from the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), net farm income is projected to decline by $30.5 billion in 2023, a decrease of 18.2 percent compared to the previous year. Similarly, research from the Australian Department of Agriculture, Fisheries, and Forestry (DAFF) indicates that Australian agricultural markets are experiencing price movements influenced more by demand fluctuations than production issues such as drought or cyclones. While essential food demand remains steady, other agricultural sectors face ongoing economic pressure.

A Cooperative Model for Farm Success
To support farmers through this tumultuous period, agricultural cooperative models have gained traction, particularly the partnership model. This approach allows farmers to collaborate not only with one another but also with agricultural manufacturers to access resources, products, and opportunities that would otherwise be out of reach.
One of the key players in this cooperative model is T&H Packaging, a leading manufacturer of agricultural products such as baler twine, net wrap, silage wrap, and grain bags. T&H's partnership program is designed to help farmers thrive by offering them access to high-quality products at competitive prices, along with the opportunity to generate additional income by acting as distributors of T&H's products. This mutually beneficial arrangement enables farmers to boost their profitability while also helping meet the growing demand for agricultural supplies.
T&H Partnership Program: A Win-Win for Farmers
T&H Packaging’s partnership program has already made a significant impact in Australia, with several agricultural contractors and suppliers joining the initiative. For instance, Wade Killeen, an experienced agricultural contractor based in Gippsland, Australia, recently joined T&H’s partnership program. Killeen’s extensive knowledge of baling and wrapping operations makes him a valuable asset to the program. His inclusion is a testament to the program’s value, as farmers gain access to industry-leading products backed by local expertise.
In addition to Killeen, Everton Farm Supplies in Everton, Victoria, has also joined the partnership program. Located at 2128 Great Alpine Rd, Everton VIC 3678, the store is now an authorized distributor of T&H Packaging’s range of high-quality farming products. This expansion further solidifies T&H’s commitment to supporting farmers and agricultural businesses in Australia during these challenging times.

Why Partner with T&H Packaging?
T&H Packaging’s partnership program stands out for several reasons. Farmers who join the program are not just customers—they become part of a network that helps ensure a steady supply of high-quality agricultural products, while also receiving opportunities to earn additional income. In turn, T&H works closely with its partners to provide the resources and support needed to thrive in the agricultural market.
For T&H, the partnership model is not only a way to distribute products but also a way to invest in the success of farmers. The company’s commitment extends beyond providing quality goods; it involves long-term collaboration, where partners can access expert guidance, marketing support, and additional sales opportunities.
Growing the Future of Agriculture Together
As the agricultural industry recovers from the impacts of Covid-19, the importance of strong, collaborative partnerships becomes more apparent. By supporting farmers with both the right products and the right business opportunities, T&H Packaging’s partnership program offers a promising path forward.
Whether you're an experienced farmer or a new agricultural contractor, T&H’s program provides the tools to navigate challenges and build a more resilient farming business.
