Farmers across the agricultural region will be contacted by Agriculture Western Australia later this month as part of a Farm Business Review to ensure the agency's programs and resources are meeting their needs. Minister for Agriculture Kim Chance supported the need for the review to provide valuable input to Government decision making. Mr Hartley said the process would involve farmers being asked a series of questions with their responses being noted by the interviewer, and being made available for inspection by the farmer at the end of the interview. One hundred farm visits will be conducted in each of the three agricultural regions this month. Mr Hartley said the timing of the pre-seeding discussions would provide a good insight into growers' approach to the season and their direction for the future.
