About the episode

With below average rain this year for most of Victoria, some regions are dealing with severe rainfall deficiencies. The result is more beef cattle producers are making the tough decision to sell cattle earlier than planned. Dairy farmers are struggling to break even due to huge input cost increases and the spread of the drought. The leader of the Greens might have lost his seat of Melbourne this federal election, but the Greens return to holding the balance of power in the Senate. What does that mean for regional communities? Most likely a stepping up of renewable energy developments. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
