Farmers say coal seam gas companies are driving dirty equipment onto their properties and spreading weeds that are destroying their livelihoods.
Cattle farmer Allan Leech had to destock his property at Dalby, about an hour west of Toowoomba, after a sudden infestation of the noxious African lovegrass weed.
He accused gas company QGC of introducing the weed in 2010 after a slasher worked on the property without a wash down certificate.
"Within a month or two ... lovegrass came up there, then we did a complete search and found it around the wells," he said.
"We haven't ploughed a paddock here for three years, we're not game because once we get loose soil we get lovegrass."
