We are proud to have instigated the Drought Support Match on 20 July with the State Government and @Adelaide_FC, partnering with @PProducersSA, @Livestock_SA and SA Dairyfarmers' Association. As part of this initiative, drought effected farmers have been offered free tickets and funds will be raised on the day for the Rural Business Support Relief Fund to help farmers battling the dry. Every bit of assistance helps in drought and raising awareness in the city is an important part of this.

BREAKING: Grain producers have expressed profound disappointment following SA Parliament's decision to amend the Environment and Food Production Areas (EFPAs), allowing housing development on some of South Australia's most productive cropping land. Read our media release in full below:

This week we met with Premier @PMalinauskasMP, Minister @ClareScriven & Treasurer @SMullighan as part of a cross-commodity meeting to discuss immediate drought support.
We stressed the need to provide further assistance asap with grain producers making decisions now on whether to seed or not. It was a robust discussion and we anticipate an announcement in the coming days.
Some of the measures GPSA has put forward include:
- funding for Council rate or Emergency Services Levy (ESL) rebates
- funding for business facilitators to work with farmers to provide access to financial and professional services and help develop a clear roadmap for recovery
- extend the on-farm infrastructure grant for drought affected growers by another $7 million and speed up processing
- increase Rural Business Support’s (RBS) small business counselling services and appointment of a dedicated psychologist
- further funding for rural financial counselling services

Why is work life balance so hard to achieve for farmers?
We thought we would ask the team at #KalmyaFarm for their views. Part 2 is in the comments.
is it a balance you also struggle with, and is is getting harder?
