Upper Hunter landholders are being urged to take advantage of an opportunity to have their concerns heard by both the Farmers Association and coal seam gas companies at the same time.
Association President Fiona Simpson and CEO Matt Brand will be at a meeting in Bunnan discussing issues including CSG, coal mining, wild dogs and native vegetation.
Cassilis farmer Tony Hegarty is chairing the meeting and hopes those attending do not let their emotions take over.
"That doesn't do much for the people themselves, it actually emotionally eats a bit of a hole in them but we want to try and avoid that because really the outcomes just don't happen when those situations happen," he said.
Representatives from AGL and Santos have also been invited.
Mr Hegarty hopes the companies will be able to address landholders.
"Santos and AGL have both said they have someone coming, I don't know who but certainly Santos has held a meeting in Bunnan before," he said.
"They'll be able to answer questions about their particular project."
