You’ll be hearing a lot about damaged roads in the next few weeks, here’s an idea of how severe that damage is.

When I asked NSW farmer Ben Jackson for some footage of his newly-green paddocks, I didn’t expect he’d go one step further. I give you... sheep forming the ABC ‘worm’ logo. And a bit of a rain dance from Ben! 💃🏻 🐑 👏🏻 @BreakfastNews @abcnews @ABCRural

ABC Leigh Radford @CaptainRural has told @debstribe he's watching the Cudlee Creek fire from his home. "I'm looking North East from Mount Lofty of the fire, it is massive! This plume of smoke coming from the fire & the wind is not good under these conditions." @CFSAlerts #SAfires

Does agriculture need to spread its assets around to ensure production sustainability in a variable climate? Future Young Leader Matthew Nevison presenting a correlation between economic variability and climate variability. We need to adapt - are natives the way to go? #evokeag

Table 9 is probably about as close as I’ll ever get to the #Premier but at least I’ve got my old faithful @louisemcbrideSJ with me. Cheers @RuralMediaSA, another fabulous event and SO GOOD to hear regions are at the top of the political agenda!

Hearing @marshall_steven share his vision for SA’s farmers. Wants to build on the $22.5b contribution farmers make to the state economy. Great @RuralMediaSA breakfast. Well-done @CaptainRural and team. @ruralbank proud to sponsor the event.

Here’s a novel idea @woolworths ( and @Coles @ALDIAustralia ) instead of just being bighearted lunks during #drought why not pay #farmers fairly ALL the time farmonline.com.au/story/5556… – at Brisbane, Queensland

What does an employer want from a grad ? @BelindaCay giving great advice ... ‘be hardworking, do something you are passionate about, don’t be a tool on social media, build relationship skills and seek out work experience’ #GTF18

Your sacrifice has not gone unnoticed @annajhenderson @martymccarthy1 - your reward will come from the satisfaction of a job well done or maybe recognition from your peers via @FarmWritersNSW @RuralPressClub @AusAgJournos suffice to say #farmers really appreciate the hard yards 2 – at Brisbane, Queensland
Legendary team that I’ve been working with to bring stories of the drought to @abcnews audience. Slugged their guts out for the last week surviving on caffeine and county meat pies/bacon and egg rolls 👏👏 @martymccarthy1 & Ben Deacon
