Farmers are pushing the new federal government to forge ahead with the Inland Rail project, guided by the recommendations of a senate inquiry.

The project is due to be completed by 2027.

So far, the only section of rail in operation runs from Parkes to Narromine in New South Wales and joins onto an upgraded line to Melbourne.

Rural editor Sophie Clarke caught up with New South Wales Farmers Inland Rail Taskforce Chairman Adrian Lyons who is urging leaders engage with the community.
