Election forums throughout the state are popping up as polling day gets closer for the state elections.
The Victorian Farmers Federation (VFF) will host a number of them at select electorates across the state, giving opportunities for farmers to speak to those standing for election.
VFF president Emma Germano said the forums they are running is to make sure farmers are respected by candidates.
"The forums are an opportunity to focus on the issues that matter to farmers and to our regional communities," Ms Germano said.
"I encourage all community members to take part in the forums by bringing their questions and to come and hear what the candidates have to say.
"Candidates will be asked how they will address these key issues if elected, as well as there being the opportunity for community members to ask their own questions."
