Great to see some much-needed rain fall across parts of Victoria today, helping to reduce the fire risk. For some, unfortunately it’s too little, too late. Last week, a host of VFF representatives including President Brett Hosking and Vice-President Peter Star visited fire affected farmers in the Grampians. They were joined by Minister for Agriculture Ros Spence and community representatives to get a first-hand look at the devastation and hear from locals on the ground. Listen to VFF President Brett Hosking’s account of what farmers are facing: https://lnkd.in/gNGWP5kT

We'd like to extend a huge thank you to the emergency services helping to keep our communities safe & the farmers that took measures to prepare farms during recent bushfires. Many of our members spent their Christmas on the fireground & we thank them for their efforts. Various assistance resources are available to those impacted, you can read more below: Message from VFF President, Brett Hosking: https://lnkd.in/gH4P4nag VFF media release: https://lnkd.in/gjNFaTNH

Victoria is starting to dry out and that means more risk of bushfires. With the support of the Victorian Government and as part of the Emergency Fodder Support Program, we’re reminding truck transport operators to pre-register their details with us. In the event of a bushfire or other significant emergency, we may call on those registered to help deliver fodder to where it’s needed most. Register your details here: https://lnkd.in/gE_QanJw Agriculture Victoria

It was a fantastic night in Ballarat last week as our VFF Making Our Farms Safer Project launched their ‘Harvesting Change’ mental health handbook for farmers. “It’s a sobering reality that nearly half of Australian farmers say they have recently felt depressed, with almost two thirds of them experiencing anxiety.” “Almost half of Australian farmers have had thoughts of self-harm or suicide. That is absolutely devastating and this handbook is a great first step towards giving farming communities the support and resources they need,” VFF VP and Chair of the Making our Farmers Safer Committee Danyel Cucinotta said. This handbook is free and available to all farmers. Visit https://lnkd.in/gwYkXwvS to get your copy #vicfarmers
