While our northern neighbours battle devastating floods, here in Greater Hume, we watch the sky and pray for rain that never comes. Dams are dry, paddocks are bare, and spirits are stretched thin.
Feed is becoming harder to source, with fodder supplies tightening and prices rising. For many local farmers, the cost and availability of feed is becoming a daily challenge. With over 30% of our workforce employed in rural industries, this is more than a farm issue — it is a whole-of-community concern that extends beyond financial burdens and can significantly impact mental health.
At the Greater Hume Council May Ordinary Meeting, Council moved a motion urgently calling for a drought declaration for our region. This is not just a declaration but a call to change the policy of drought declaration to include water, fodder and freight subsidies for our farmers.
This is about more than paddocks and rainfall — it is about people, jobs, and the future of rural Australia.
