A charity tasked with supplying hay to flood-affected graziers in western Queensland says fears fodder drops are being held up by biosecurity concerns over red fire ants are unfounded. As the flooding disaster unfolded this week, Queensland's Department of Primary Industries engaged Rural Aid, a not-for-profit that supports farmers during natural disasters, to coordinate hay and feed drops for animals that managed to survive the rising water. More than 1,000 bales of hay have since been delivered.

The inland freight route needs upgrades to be a true backup to the Bruce Highway in times of disaster. Queensland's new main roads minister says there's been no "meaningful" work done on the $1 billion project in five years. Truck drivers and farmers want to see work start and the route extended north. The inland freight route is meant to keep Queensland open for business during disasters, but five years after the $1 billion "second Bruce" upgrade was announced no real work has been done.

The recommendation is five serves a day, but most Australians consume just a third of that. It's not just a concern for health officials, farmers say it's putting their bottom line at risk. But there's a simple act that could change it for you, the industry and the economy.
