Farmers are lashing a federal government decision to scrap a crucial program connecting them to workers.

The Harvest Trail service allowed farmers to recruit backpackers on temporary working visas and Australian jobseekers to work in the fields during busy harvest periods.

Rural Reporter Emily Minney spoke with Aus Pineapples managing Director Colin Hawken about how the loss of the program could affect the supply chain.
