Please see below a link to the DPI website dealing with the locust threat in the coming Spring.
Egg laying in Victoria has been observed in probably one third of the State, mainly in the North West to North Central and Goulburn Valley areas.
Once there hatch and fly, they can travel hundreds of kilometres in a night, if the wind is right.
DPI are concerned that agriculture production of up to $2billion could be affected.
Therefore all primary producers need to be vigilant.
Please check the DPI website for further information and action advice. |

The Alpine Valleys region of North Eastern Victoria has historically supported a strong dairy industry, based predominantly on “rain fed pasture” assisted by varying levels of irrigation. The amount of land in dairying has declined over the years and while farm numbers are currently relatively stable there may be potential to expand dairying in the region or create synergies between the dairy and grazing industries
In July 2008 the Department of Primary Industries reviewed the agricultural resources available in North East Victoria. The report generated was aimed at bringing together information related to the agricultural capability and land use within the Alpine Valleys Region that would assist current or potential land owners in making better informed decisions about the potential and suitability of various agricultural enterprises.
This new report, while having certain aspects in common, should be viewed as adding to that information, having the more focused aim of investigating the potential future of dairying in the Alpine Valleys.
