The Story of this Facebook post is heart wrenching. It is being repeated many times in the irrigation areas. I am to remote to understand completely – but the rules of engagement and separation of water from land seems to be a SERIOUS ISSUE.
This year, Australia becomes a net importer of dairy. By this I mean – IF AUSTRALIA WANTED TO MAKE ALL THE DAIRY PRODUCTS IT CONSUMES from AUSTRALIAN MILK — IT COULD NOT BE DONE !!!
So we have the crazy situation of farmers going broke while a major food source becomes an import item.This is distressing and worrying.
