Mr Stone stands to lose half of his 1215 hectare property to salinity and he has spent a majority of his farming career lobbying governments to take action.

WA has 75pc of the nation's salt-affected land and half of the nation's salinity is in the Avon River's catchment.

About 388,000ha of WA is currently affected by salinity, a figure which could potentially reach two million hectares if salt continues to spread at its current rate.

Mr Stone said fighting Wheatbelt salinity had been a bureaucratic blunder and nothing was changing, with current programs continuing in the same misguided direction.

He welcomed the NRM review and questioned whether the program was worth continuing.

"Or is it now that Avon farmers push for an urgent moratorium on NRM so no more taxpayers' dollars are wasted on band aid solutions and jobs for the boys and protest by removing the dam at the Avon River?" Mr Stone said.

Avon Catchment Council (ACC) funding for plant-based solutions top salinity in 2007/2008 was $300,000, a figure Mr Stone said was a "national disgrace".

"How can we address salinity with $300,000?" he said.

He said research and trials had shown that action needed to be taken on the valley floor, not on the hillsides where much of the salinity funding had previously and was now being spent.
