What a paper we have for you this week. NSW producers don't want wild dogs forgotten in the pest control fight, we put a spotlight on the hot-button issue of nuclear power and how it can co-exist with agriculture, as well as covering the impact Rex will have on regional communities flying into administration. We delve into all things markets on how to make goats economically viable in a volatile market and a focus on strong buyer demand for new season lambs. Don't miss the heart-warming yarn of six-year-old Paxton who is turning poddies into show steers while still making a buck. ACM #agriculture
