Transcript

00:00 Hi and welcome to another episode of Getting the Upper Land where we take a look at this

00:12 week's top stories. I'm senior journalist Dennis Howard.

00:16 And I'm livestock editor Rebecca Nudge and we're coming to you from the summit of Mount

00:19 Cannobilis here in Orange. Dennis, back to no hat this week.

00:24 Yeah, after all the positive feedback we got from last week's video my hat doesn't fit

00:28 me anymore but. Yeah, I can see that that would work. Making

00:33 news this week we've got a good story by Jamie Brown on drought preparedness. It takes a

00:37 look at a family who are using supplementary feeding to help their pastures recover.

00:41 It's also a story from Ben Jaffrey on the feral pig issue. A property at Naminga has

00:46 spent years without pigs and that all changed five months ago.

00:50 Over in livestock I take a look at the role of breed societies which was the topic of

00:54 a discussion at a beef production field day at Koota Park recently. The talk centred around

00:59 whether having more than 30 separate societies was in the industry's best interest.

01:03 Yeah, Bec that was an interesting talk. What else is happening in livestock?

01:07 We've also got a story by Queensland country life reporter Brandon Long who takes a look

01:11 at the beef industry's target to be carbon neutral by 2030. Modelling by Meat and Livestock

01:17 Australia shows that at the current rate industry is not on target to meet that.

01:21 We've also got a story from national writer Gregor Hurd on China deciding to drop the

01:25 barley tariffs.

01:27 And keep an eye out too for Fletcher International's Roger Fletcher who gives an address at Sheep

01:32 Vention at Hamilton in Victoria.
