NATIONALS Senate leader Barnaby Joyce has called on incoming federal treasurer Chris Bowen to “show his mettle” by rejecting a rural industry takeover that farmers believe will hand control of east coast grain exports to a US corporate giant.
Senator Joyce stepped up his objections to the proposed $3.4 billion bid for GrainCorp, declaring it would be against the national interest for Australia’s biggest grain handler to fall into the hands of global grains trader Archer Daniels Midland.

BARNABY Joyce has told colleagues his position on Tony Abbott's front bench may prove ''untenable'' if the sale of GrainCorp proceeds, but he denied threatening to resign.
The Deputy Nationals leader has been the subject of a vicious smear campaign by Liberal colleagues who have accused him of bullying and threatening Treasurer Joe Hockey over the sale.
Open warfare has erupted between the Coalition parties with senior Nationals also accusing Mr Hockey and others of peddling lies about Nationals leader Warren Truss's position on a second Sydney airport at Badgerys Creek.
Mr Joyce said he would continue to stand up for farmers, who he feared would get a lower price at the farm gate under the sale. "They will get held over a barrel,'' he said.
Liberal ministers have said they hope Mr Joyce will resign, with one quipping: "I didn't think it would be this easy to get rid of him."
