Agromarkets review: rising prices for Australian livestock and other topics

On the radio show The Country, host Jamie Mackay discussed the situation with Australian livestock prices with Australian correspondent Chris Russell. According to the expert, contrary to fears regarding El Niño, timely rains and limited supply have led to new price records amid ongoing precipitation.

The program also featured experts and guests. In the first panel discussion, former show producer Rowena Duncum (FMG) and BusinessDesk journalist Riley Kennedy touched upon the topics of agriculture in schools, skin cancer checks for farmers, and the Farmstrong charity golf tournament. Another panel featuring the brother and sister who won the 2022 (Dangen) and 2023 (Poole) FMG Young Farmer of the Year contests looked at the specifics of dairy seasons in different parts of the country, agricultural education in schools, and elections during the busiest period for agrarians.

In addition, the episode raised issues facing crop producers, the gold rush situation in Broken Hill, and the construction of a new airport in western Sydney. The British agricultural correspondent commented on the progress of the autumn sowing campaign and the UK autumn budget.
