 “Although some parts of the country are still grappling with the impacts of unusually dry weather through autumn and winter, it’s encouraging to see the patchy start to this year’s season have been corrected in many farming regions, especially in WA where seasonal conditions looked dire last quarter but have really turned around,” according to lead researcher Marcel van Doremaele.

From the fat and happy cows in sections of east coast pastures to the vast wheat fields of the west, the Australian agricultural sector is experiencing a sense of renewal. The recent Rabobank Rural Confidence Survey paints a picture of a thriving industry, with farmers expressing optimism about the future.
