Daniel Brear from Farmers NSW says locals need to work on future proofing their farms.
“Farmers should make sure they’re looking forward and planning for these circumstances.”
“We are seeing trends of more extreme conditions, so when it’s dry it’s really dry, when it’s wet it’s really wet. Farmers need to be prepared for that.”
