A seven million dollar program will be rolled out in New South Wales, in an effort to eradicate a parasite affecting cattle. 

The New South Wales government will deliver the first Cattle Tick Eradication Action Plan by the end of September. 

The parasite has become endemic to a large part of Queensland, causing concern for Northern New South Wales producers. 

Rural Editor Emily Minney spoke with New South Wales Farmers Association spokesman and cattle producer Tony Hegarty about the move.
