@lizzystottson @clint_jasper Thanks for sharing Lizzy. A key topic that fails to get air time is the fact that allocations are determined by the water sharing agreement, not the plan.
@Peter_Strachan Hi Peter, my Grandmother use to talk of dust storms in the 1940s. While we haven’t seen one since then on the farm, it has happened before.
@abcadelaide@abcnews Throughout this debate on water management triggered by the Menindee fish kill, it frustrates me to no end that some contributors label all irrigators as thieves. So far from the truth - the actions of a few rogue irrigators should not tarnish the reputation of the rest.
There was plenty of welcome rain in Boort yesterday. The Toose family’s property Taunton received 117mm, which they say is a perfect amount after the devastating recent dry spell. WATCH: https://t.co/59s0kFw32i @Chantelle_Fran
"The quiet achiever of Australian agriculture is the dairy industry. Despite takeovers and some appalling managerial decisions the industry continues to kick goals."
Lion currently do something similar - our spent grain and citrus peel by products from the brewing and juice processing sites are sent to feed dairy cows across the east coast. It’s a wonderful initiative that promotes sustainability and provides economical feed alternatives.
