Safety, it does more than keep you safe.
Wearing your seatbelt and helmet in side-by-sides helps make sure you’re there for the people you love and the moments that matter.

Farms are homes as well as workplaces. This #FarmingSafeandWell tip is to keep the whole family safe on the farm by providing safe boundaries between the home and workplace.

Most farmers tend to spend less time than you’d think in active exercise, which can increase the risk of serious health issues.
Just 30 minutes of daily activity can make a huge difference! See some practical ideas in our Active Farming fact sheets: farmerhealth.org.au/category…

Farm machinery is the leading cause of fatalities and serious injuries on farms.
In-line silage wrappers have many hazards and risks.
There are many contributing factors and recommended ways to control risks, for more information go to worksafe.vic.gov.au/safety-a…

A H7 strain of high pathogenicity avian influenza virus has been confirmed at a commercial poultry farm in northern Victoria and restrictions are now in place.
This is unrelated to the previous detections of the H7 strains in Victoria and also different from the H5N1 avian influenza strain that is impacting the USA and other parts of the world.
A restricted area around the impacted property and a control area have been established to prevent movements that could spread the virus.
Agriculture Victoria has staff on the ground supporting the business and performing further investigations as necessary.
Poultry farmers, backyard flock and bird owners are urged to report any cases of unexplained bird deaths to the 24-hour Emergency Animal Disease Hotline on 1800 675 888, or your local vet.

📏 📐 Assessing how much water is in a dam can be difficult due to their odd shape and formulas used to measure their volume.
We have a range of 💻 online tools available to assist farmers in assessing the volume of water in their dams and how long that water may last.
💧 The Summer Water Calculator: bit.ly/3ALTloe helps farmers calculate dam volumes based on shape, length, width and depth.
