With the Victorian Government recently ending the dingo unprotection order in Victoria’s northwest, and the review of the order in the remainder of the state still underway, there is an understandable worry from industry and other stakeholders that wild dog control measures will be completely removed, and wild dog populations will spiral out of control. This not only puts Victoria’s sheep and wool industry at risk, but could also devastate these industries in NSW and SA. Ultimately, this could lead to producers exiting the industry. #vicwilddogs #nwdap Keep updated on progress ➡️ https://buff.ly/4fdknEI

Attempts by enviro groups to bully & coerce Australian companies into banning sustainable farming practices are shameful and deserve to be called out. Read more

Farmers work hard to feed and sustain us all. But behind the hard work, there are real people who face challenges every day. Let's take a moment to check in on each other. A simple “Are you OK?” can make a world of difference. 🤝 Reach out. Start the conversation. Together, we can support mental wellbeing in our farming communities. #ruokanyday #SupportOurFarmers #MentalHealthMatters
