Farmers Get $149M Drought Shield

Published 1 day, 23 hours ago
Description

Farmers are getting a $149 million drought rescue package as the agriculture sector surges—with veggies up 12% and potatoes up 18%—but dry conditions are already hitting key areas. Water trucking is already in motion, and the plan focuses on prevention: building on-farm water catchment systems. The minister’s offering free pond liners to farmers who dig their own ponds, boosting local water resilience. Meanwhile, the Ministry is finalizing a 10-year strategic plan for agriculture, set to debut by September. All announced at the 72nd Denbigh Agricultural, Industrial and Food Show, a major industry showcase running July 31–August 2.
