Despite higher-than-average rainfall over the past 3-4 years, many Central Tablelands farmers are struggling to water livestock, as widespread adoption of improved ground cover management and minimum till cropping practices have led to decreased runoff into dams. Central Tablelands LLS are working to support farmers who have livestock on land with good pasture, but no water.
Mandagery farmer, Luke Dunn of Reedy Creek Partners has been working with Central Tablelands LLS to prioritise water security improvements to their mixed farming business in response to this issue. You can watch the video of Mr Dunn here.
