A national livestock standstill is when it is nationally agreed that specific livestock species affected by an emergency disease must not be moved.

The national 'Determining yield under frost – one degree at a time' project was a collaborative effort between the Department of Primary Industries and Regional Development (DPIRD), Kalyx, Living F

Frost risk occurs virtually every year across southern and eastern agricultural regions. Actual occurrence of frost is determined by location and landscape factors as well as climate.

Wheat is highly susceptible to frost damage between ear emergence and flowering – often termed reproductive frost.

A new guide has been published to assist canola and pulse growers to identify frost damage and consider crop management decisions. Frost damage reduces crop yield and grain quality.

Frost damage to braocacre crops is a significant annual production constraint for localised parts of the Western Australian wheatbelt.

It is illegal to feed meat, meat products and food that has been in contact with meat to pigs in Australia.

Producers in the West Midlands region are reminded to closely monitor sandy soils, as conditions from the 2021 season continue to create groundcover challenges in 2022.
