The Department of Primary Industries and Regional Development’s (DPIRD) sheep team invite you to a presentation by respected farm modeller and analyst John Young (Farming Systems Analysis Service) on the value of a ewe, in light of current prices and turnoff systems.

DPIRD's WA Internet of Things (IoT) Decision Ag Grants Program (2019), part of the eConnected Grainbelt project, was designed to assist in overcoming challenges that remained with regard to ‘on-farm connectivity’ and was found to provide benefits.

The Western Australian Government recognises the value of animal welfare to the community and strives to ensure that all animals receive appropriate standards of care.

Seasonal Climate Outlook November 2019

The Department of Primary Industries and Regional Development’s (DPIRD) Statistical Seasonal Forecast (SSF) outlook for November 2019 to January 2020 is indicating less than 40% chance of exceeding median rainfall for the majority of the South West Land Division (SWLD).

This page provides information links specific to nutrient management of high rainfall pastures (more than 600 mm average annual rainfall) in the south-west of Western Australia.

2019 leading into 2020 has been a difficult season for many farmers and pastoralists throughout Western Australia, with variable rainfall impacting on production and profitability.

The 2024 season has been difficult for many throughout Western Australia with variable rainfall impacting on production and profitability.

A range of services are in place to support farmers and pastoralists experiencing hardship, as a result of seasonal and financial pressures.

The Government of Western Australia supports sustainable development in agribusiness and food with grants, infrastructure, sponsorships, events, partnerships and investment opportunities to ensure our industry remains internationally competitive.
