Drought preparedness

Annabelle CLEELAND (Euroa) (09:49): I also recently attended a livestock drought maintenance information session in Euroa with about 80 farmers – something incredibly necessary as climate conditions worsen across our regional areas. Gathering with local farmers, we discussed ways in which we can be better equipped to handle the lack of rain and ensure our farmers can survive. The ongoing drought is taking a serious toll on farmers in regional Victoria and leaving them desperate for rain. Please put your washing on the line, because farmers are facing both financial strain and emotional exhaustion.
