Research for the Riverine Plains 2007

Welcome to the 2007 edition of Research for the Riverine Plains. 

The year that has just been will go down as one of the worst droughts in history. Not just due to the lack of rainfall in 2006, but the drier than average last ten years that have devastated production in the drier areas of the country, and have diminished water reserves across the nation. 

In our own area, financial losses have been significant, and the legacy of the drought will linger for some years as people recover. However, it is pleasing to report that Riverine Plains has continued to move ahead. Most importantly of all, you, our members have continued to find the time and energy to support what Riverine Plains continues to offer you in the form of services and events.

Even in tough times there is a demand for good, objective data and advice to give the local industry the best chance of getting ahead, or in this case specially, getting back on its feet in the shortest time possible.
