Origin/meaning

The arms were officially granted on June 1, 1967.

The green of the shield is for fertility which is basic to agriculture and horticulture; the gold alludes to the fruits of the earth, the result of these two pursuits, and also to the basic con­tribution made by agriculture and horticulture to the general benefit of the Commonwealth.

The stylized harrow symbolizes cultivation of the soil, and the shears represent the pastoral aspects of primary production, and in particular wool production.
