NFU members in many areas will know that although the recent weather has helped to alleviate problems, drought and the threat of drought are still very much on the farming radar as we move into the 2012 cropping season.

Topics covered include:
What is a drought and what triggers this status?
Drought planning
The relevant drought legislation
The responsibilities of relevant authorities
EA drought management stages and actions
Drought orders - procedures, objections and compensation
Spray irrigation restrictions.
