Farmers, livestock transporters, agents and small landholders gathered at the Mount Gambier & District Saleyards last Wednesday for Yarns Over the Yardrails, a community wellbeing event supporting those affected by ongoing dry conditions.
The dayโs conversations included local agronomist Rick Jordan sharing insights on how the farming community can make the most of recent rainfall and prepare their paddocks for the season ahead, emphasising a return to the fundamentals of good land management.
Experienced veterinarian Andrew Hoare built on Mr Jordanโs key messages encouraging producers to reflect on what theyโve learned and build confidence through experience, while also offering advice on how to maintain good livestock condition and plan feed budgets.
Attendees then explored what looking after yourself truly means when working on the land. Former primary producer of 30 years and BlueWren Connections Founder Heather Ellis led an interactive session brainstorming tips on how to prioritise wellbeing in rural life.
Representatives from the Department of Primary Industries and Regions and SA Health were also on hand throughout the day providing valuable information about the range of support packages and services available to farmers doing it tough, including the State Governmentโs Drought Support Program, and helping primary producers understand how to access financial and other practical support tailored to their needs.
๐ More information about the event, and links to resources and services for farmers can be found on Council's website at www.dcgrant.sa.gov.au/council/latest-news/yarns-over-the-yardrails-strengthens-rural-connections ... See moreSee less
