Minister for Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry, Senator Joe Ludwig, today welcomed the strong response to the pilot of drought reform measures in Western Australia, with hundreds of WA farmers attending information sessions in July and August.

“The drought reform pilot in WA is a major milestone for the Gillard Government in delivering an improved system that better supports farmers, their families and regional communities,” Minister Ludwig said.
