HELP FOR MALLEE TRACK FARMERS
Farmers along the Mallee track who are struggling are being urged to take advantage of a range of support being offered.
While the Mildura Rural City Council is using its $1 million of Drought Communities Fund to assist farmers in the Millewa-Carwarp area due to severity of the drought in that region, Mallee track farmers can still get help.
“There is a range of support for Mallee farmers experiencing different types of hardship due to dry season conditions,” a council spokesperson said.
“These can be accessed through Sunraysia Rural Counselling Service. Or by contacting Agriculture Victoria on 136 186 or by visiting (www.agriculture.vic.gov.au/dryseasons).”
The spokesperson said if the council receives another round of Drought Communities Funds this could provide options to support Mallee farmers.

The Progress Group are hoping to set up memorabilia in the hall for both the Friday and Saturday events and we are asking the community if they have any artefacts/photos/medals that they are interest in sharing.
We are also looking for interested volunteers who would like to be part of a committee that will coordinate and set up the display in the Hall.
