Farmer Roy's Random Thoughts - I never said it was easy.

Until Australia finds new income streams then mining willl need to be used to help sustain ever expanding welfare program, including drought payments.

Ant...

Do Australian farmers receive government payments to support them?

 

[holwellcourtfarm]

Maybe they should consider using them in interrogation tactics in Guantanamo bay.....

Even the Americans have limits

Do Australian farmers receive government payments to support them?

There are specific drought assistance programs, plus the normal welfare program in which anyone eligible is able to utilise.

Drought and rural support - DAWE

The Australian Government has released a drought response, resilience and preparedness plan. Our plan is focused on 3 themes:

www.agriculture.gov.au

Available drought assistance in NSW

www.dpi.nsw.gov.au

Family payments and support

Find out what financial support is available for families, including the Baby Bonus, childcare assistance and help with medical costs.

www.qld.gov.au

www.google.com

Im not across all of them and whats available.

Obviously all this has to be funded.

I find it mind boggling when people say theres no focus on renewable in oz, maybe need to sell and shift?

Creating a Smarter Water Catchment in the Evenlode - Thames Water No Till & Cover Crop trial

Thames Water has recently started a No Till and Cover Crop trial in the Evenlode river catchment as part of its ‘Smarter Water Catchments’ initiative. The company’s work, alongside colleagues from Atkins and Natural England, is helping to encourage water sensitive farming across the Evenlode catchment and to reduce run-off of phosphorus from farms and fields into local watercourses. The project has a number of components in addition to the No Till trial, including an agri-environment grant scheme and advice service.

The River Evenlode catchment lies to the west of Oxford and is in the Thames river basin, partly within the Cotswolds AONB, with the river flowing from Moreton-in-Marsh to Eynsham over a distance of more than 75km. Thames Water is particularly interested in exploring whether a ‘no till’ approach reduces the loss of soil and, in particular, phosphorus, to watercourses, while improving soil health. The company is also interested in whether the approach can increase farm profitability and efficiency. The trial started in September 2018 and is designed to run for five years, with research support from Innovative Farmers. The trial is farmer-led, allowing participants to test additional topics such as soil health, nutrient application and cost vs yield. Thames Water is supporting its trial farmers in exploring the challenges and benefits of the no till and cover crop approach by offering funding for machinery costs and cover crop seed provision for the no till fields. The aim of this is to remove some of the risk involved in trialling the approach.

Field scale soil and water quality monitoring has commenced and will continue throughout the trial. The company looks forward to reporting on some of the initial results from this project in future publications. If the trial is successful, Thames Water will be looking to work with other farmers and land managers to promote this approach in other parts of the Thames River Basin.

That’s because no-till and cover cropping is just a passing fad remember. It’ll be irrelevant in a couple years... obviously![emoji849]

At a presentation for Carbon Markets and programs that are accessible for Ag.

Apparently Alberta is a Global leader in these types of programs. And it’s an English bloke who’s telling me so!

At a racecourse I work at we have had three separate incidents of choking at the fish’n’chip counter requiring medical attendance over the last 10 years. Two victims had actually passed out and the collapse dislodged the obstruction. The third self cleared before collapse.
All oesophageal obstructions have been chip rather than fish related.
The fish’n’chip counter has been closed now for a year.
It’s an all weather track holding dreary, low interest midweek meets, the calibre of patron is the risk factor. Life can be risky for the stupid.
