Further support for farmers could be needed
Further financial support for farmers may be needed as a result for the dry weather.
Last week, the Department of Environment, Food and Agriculture announced a 10% advance of the financial support from the Agricultural Development Scheme.
It's to help farmers cope with the lack of availability of feed and bedding for livestock this year.
Minister Geoffrey Boot says the situation may need to be reviewed again:

Road closure extended into third month
Treasury criticised for 'misleading' advice
Council blast damage to public toilet
Emergency services deal with Peel Road incident
