Does agriculture need to spread its assets around to ensure production sustainability in a variable climate? Future Young Leader Matthew Nevison presenting a correlation between economic variability and climate variability. We need to adapt - are natives the way to go? #evokeag

End of an era today with Peter Brechin doing his last pig market after the best part of 50 years on the SA Country Hour. Pictured here on the left with another Rural legend Ian Doyle. Fantastic work Sir Peter and will miss hearing you!

This is a brilliant initiative and will be fascinating to see what a difference eliminating cats from even a small part of the state will make for wildlife #NoCatsinAus

Brilliant to hear a true advocate of Australian agriculture talking with conviction in Adelaide about the future of farming in this country. So many issues and the NFF working hard to promote the interests of farming. Hats off to you Fiona Simson! #royaladelaideshow #nff

Back in the saddle and the reason I look worried, is because it’s like the apocalypse has arrived on what was beautiful Kangaroo Island. On air tonight tracking the most extraordinary fires ever seen on the island - a disaster for the community, farmers ...and the environment.

When I asked NSW farmer Ben Jackson for some footage of his newly-green paddocks, I didn’t expect he’d go one step further. I give you... sheep forming the ABC ‘worm’ logo. And a bit of a rain dance from Ben! 💃🏻 🐑 👏🏻 News Breakfast ABC News ABC Rural

More rain, more mountain snow to season-high levels this week and the storages are all full. So how big will the #flood be in the Murray this year?
