Farmers experiencing prolonged drought conditions given access to new drought loans

New loans are on offer for drought stricken farmers.  The Regional Investment Corporation has launched its new Drought Hardship loan for farmers living under drought conditions for at least two years.  The loan of up to 250 thousand dollars can only be used to cover operational costs like wages, carting water and purchasing fodder.  Rural Editor Emily Minney spoke with Chief Executive John Howard about the new offer. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
