How nice is the few drops of rain we've had lately but it certainly isn't enough. We can all see how terribly dry it is in the Hunter Valley at the moment and a number of our clients are suffering due to the lack of rain.

To play our part we have gathered a few resources together for your information regarding some of the assistance measures available. Government assistance is available at both State and Commonwealth levels, and the Hunter Local Land Services also has area specific information available.

The Department of Primary Industries has a DroughtHub where a number of these resources can be found: www.droughthub.nsw.gov.au

Dairy Farmers have also announced a loan facility available to active members: http://www.dfmc.org.au/services/loans/
