North West current advice

Spring advice for farmers in the North West

• Following recent flooding in the Gunnedah, Tamworth, Narrabri and Wee Waa districts, it's crucial to ensure your animals have access to food, clean water and shelter. Keep a close eye on your livestock and contact your vet or a Local Land Services district vet if you spot any signs of disease or injury.
• A segment (cladode) of Hudson Pear (Cylindropuntia pallida) was recently discovered at the Redbank / Tommy Swamp Rest area between Gunnedah and Carroll on the Oxley Highway. This has clearly been accidentally transported by a vehicle or caravan and is well outside the core infestation at Lightning Ridge. Please keep an eye out for weeds picked up on your vehicles as they travel through the region. Remember to Come Clean – Go Clean!
