"A new pilot project will look at techniques to help grain farmers adjust to climate change, Agriculture Minister Joe Helper announced. Speaking at the opening of the VFF Grains Group annual conference in Geelong, Mr Helper said the project would determine what management changes grains farmers were using to boost water use efficiency.“The Brumby Government is aware of the significant change that is occurring in the grains industry in response to climate change at both the industry and farm level,” Mr Helper said. We hope to identify which techniques are more effective at helping Victorian farmers deal with climate change.”
