Hi Scott,
Just got home from Brisbane (visiting family) Very pleased to hear that
you had a successful event. Colin Waters tells me that there has been
some reasonable rain since, so hope that is a sign of better things to
come.
Well done to you and the other organisers.

Chair

Subject: MID water allocation forum
The MID farmer forum held yesterday was a great success with approx 70
people in attendance with both farmers and service providers having
their say during and after the meeting. Local farmers discussed their
proposed strategies to cope with a low water allocation.
Key outcomes from the day included early planning for a tough year and
then hopefully being able to modify these plans if season improves,
discussion was had on a channel rotation scheme to improve water
effiency, the areas that the DPI could help farmers eg feed budget
programmes and the possibility of having regular monthly meetings to
obtain latest water updates and as a social outlet for stressed farmers
The UDV acknowledges the input from Gippsdairy, DPI, SRW and the
Gippsland Regional Extension committee.
