New online one-stop-shop to support farmers in drought

Website Editor

A new online resource has been launched today to support farmers going through drought.

Developed in partnership with the National Farmers’ Federation, FarmHub is an online resource that brings together the services of the Commonwealth, states, councils and charities. It provides farmers a single place to find out what drought assistance is available to them.

“This will tell farmers what assistance is available for them without any mucking around,” Minister for Agriculture and Water Resources, David Littleproud said. “Farmers just need to go to farmhub.org.au and type in their location to find help available.

“It will show what fodder, water, transport and living expense assistance is available at an individual farm, as well as mental and physical health services.”

The government has also launched a National Drought Map to help coordinate the drought response so that governments, businesses and communities can make informed decisions. It visually displays information relevant to a particular area and can be used as a decision support tool. This information includes rainfall patterns, soil moisture, agricultural types and employment by industries.

“The National Drought Map is a clear and precise picture of conditions and the drought response across Australia,” Minister Littleproud said. “This will help us to be flexible and responsive to the drought when conditions change.”
