The Big Dry.

I read about the trade stuff, what a catch-22! And yes, Australia is usually the one helping everyone else, I surely hope the offer from NZ is accepted and they can cover the loss due to the trade agreements. Even with that help I imagine things will still be iffy.

Very iffy,the hayrunners are still delivering where they can but hay is getting harder to source.fingers crossed that weather reports are wrong and the rain gods help us out.

We are getting rain,not enough to fill the dams but enough to give the new crops a go,praying hard for follow up rain before the summer heat burns off the bit of moisture we have received,if so in 3 months time parts of NSW will be producing their own feed.

With New South Wales declared entirely in drought and suffering through the driest September on record, Thursday’s monumental rainfall has been described as long overdue.
The drenching is due to a low-pressure trough pushing east across Victoria, NSW and Queensland, with rain forecasted to continue over the weekend.
But while the rain comes as welcome relief, meteorologists say it isn’t enough to be considered drought-breaking.

Hoping and praying the rains continue at least over the weekend, if not longer, Dingo!

Walking around in mud is a good feeling,the rain has cleared now and things have greened up a bit,we still need lots more.

[SaraSidle]

I am so sorry Dingo. I hope you get more rain soon.

OMG, how sad. Breaks my heart for all of them - farmers, stock and all the way down the line. For you, too . Is there not enough hay trucked in to feed all the stock...or is it too little, too late? SMH .

The Hay runners are doing their best but sadly they are now trying to help QLD out too,its a toss up here whether to donate to the drought farmers or the flood farmers,Mother Nature seems to be very pissed off with OZ at the moment.

Some farmers are even sending their prize winning bulls to the slaughter house,there is no money in cattle at the moment and they cant feed them.
