Western Eyre need access to @SA_PIRSA Drought Loans Scheme! Some had 3yrs in a row of drought. Cashflows r stretched. Recent heavy rain will be left begging for a crop to be sown. Wasted opp to dig out of drought hole.

Important issue ; we need to give feedback on. 70-80 km /hr! A 6.5 hr drive becomes 9.25hrs! …..fatigue!😬
The Federal Government @ausgov is proposing to reduce the 100km/h default speed limit on non-signposted unsealed roads to 80 or 70km/hr. Have your say by 11 Nov 👉🏻infrastructure.gov.au/have-y…

This is extremely graphic. Activists with no knowledge of local ecosystems were instrumental in preventing control of dingoes in NW Vic in 2024. Since then 1 local farmer alone has recently lost 400 lambs to dingo attack. @Steve_Dimo please don’t turn your back on rural Victoria

Another brutal start to the day. 2 prime ewes mauled and now deceased. 2 more being monitored. Tracks located and DEECA cameras onsite captured dingos entering this paddock

Any of you guys in and around the Wimmera might want to get over onto this page on facebook and have a read of the absolute trash they are pushing. Farmers copping it once again all while just trying to get on with it 😡

Have your say about Viterra’s takeover of GrainFlow handling & storage sites.
If – like us – you believe it will lower competition and hurt growers, tell the ACCC you oppose the purchase.
You have until this Thursday 24 October to send a submission to mergers@accc.gov.au

Is anyone else over this intrusive BS?
What can we grow that doesnt require this micromanagement of our private property & personal info? 🤔 The river Seine has faeces floating in it for gods sake! And they expect people to swim in it!! 🤦♀️ #europeanhypocrits
