New state government recently decided to provide farmers with an additional 500 million yuan (Australian dollar) emergency drought relief aid to cope with the driest winter ever. The new state of government is struggling with a worsening climate, and government says it will, as always, focus on farmers` well-being and well-being to address its pressing needs.
The Sydney Morning Frontier reported on the 30th that the plan was announced at Bathurst (Bathurst) by (Gladys Berejiklian), the governor of the new state. It is reported that the plan includes one hundred and eighty nine million nine hundred and ninety nine thousand nine hundred and ninety nine yuan in drought transport subsidies, each farm will receive about 20, 000 yuan in the transport of feed, water for livestock, pastures and sales. At the same time, subsidies will cover areas hit by drought in January.
In New York, 99 percent of the state`s land is currently dry, causing crop failures, severe water shortages and reduced livestock feed supplies, Berrigiklin said. "government listened to the farmers and they told me they were in urgent need of help," she said. The situation is critical and requires further support from government to address the urgent needs of farmers before the end of the drought in their communities.
New State Deputy Governor Barilaro (John Barilaro) also said drought deteriorated rapidly across the state as weather conditions in June and July were worse than expected and farmers were forced to search for feed on the interstate because of a deterioration in the local feed supply. The government will continuously assess existing conditions and relief measures, which also reflect government`s concern for the healthy development of agriculture and communities and the welfare of farmers. At the same time, the new state government extended the subsidy to the beginning of this year (a severe drought in the western and northern parts of the state), which will still allow farmers who made earlier cuts in rural investment to benefit from the new aid package.
In addition, the programme includes 100 million yuan in grants for local land services, water charges in rural and regional areas, registration fees for agricultural vehicles, and so on. To reduce agricultural costs by 150 million yuan to support the agricultural innovation fund (Farm Innovation Fund) infrastructure projects, including agricultural development consulting, farmers mental health services, livestock security welfare and stock management funds.
