The elderly farmer, convicted over the shooting murder of Tamworth environment officer Glen Turner, will spend at least the next 24 years behind bars.
81-year-old Ian Turnbull shot dead the father-of-two over an illegal land clearing dispute on his property near Moree in July 2014.
A jury found Turnbull guilty after a five week trial, which heard the shooting was the brutal end to years of tension and court battles.
He was today sentenced to a maximum of 35 years in the NSW Supreme Court.
