Farm Tender Daily - All the news from Wednesday, the 31st of January, 2024.By Dwain Duxson - Click here to go to the Farmer Tender website.
Can Farming and Mining coexist? - We have a dilemma. We have all this rich Wimmera and Mallee Farming Land where Farmers grow Food and Fibre not to feed the world (they do that anyway), but more to feed their families.
We are also starting to find out that there are a lot of valuable Minerals and Rare Earth under this wonderful Farming Country. The Miners want to dig down and get it, and the Farmers don't want the Land disturbed. Most Mines across Australia are in outback areas where the Land is much less valuable and productive. And that is no disrespect to this less productive country, but the country we are talking about here is a prime Agricultural Country.
So, is there a way that Farmers and Miners can coexist? Going by a few Farmers I have spoken to, the answer is a stern "no". But I think that Farmers need to be informed about what might happen and if there are any consequences or benefits.
If you are a Farmer in the Wimmera/Mallee area, I suggest you get along to this information night. See the flyer at the bottom of this page. It's a Farmers only event. It's a chance to get informed about the many new mining ventures that are popping up. Are you affected by any mining on your Land? Reply to [email protected]
The Farmers Club headlines - Tomorrow, at 5 am, we talk about the battle for acres in where sheep numbers have declined in favour of Cropper, especially in WA. We talk about Bore water and what's happening underground, and we also cover whether sunscreen works, and we go back to our singlet-wearing days back in the 70's. Plus, all your replies, and we also have over 30+ short-form articles and images all about Farming. Sign up here.
