Despite this, annual reports like the EP Farming Systems Summary remain vitally important. For many growers and their advisers, the traditional ‘hard copy’ annual report remains invaluable, standing the test of time to survive in the farm office or behind the seat in the ute, misplaced for periods, resurfacing at opportune times to provide gems of information! GRDC acknowledges the significant and longstanding collaboration that underpins the work reported in this summary. The commitment in particular of SARDI, University of Adelaide, SAGIT, CSIRO, EPARF, EP Natural Resources Management Board, local agribusiness and growers to this collaboration is noted and very much appreciated. One of the key aims of the GRDC’s Strategic R&D Plan 2012-17 is to better align national research, development and extension (RD&E) programs with growers needs on a regional basis. GRDC’s partnerships with grower driven groups such as EPARF and organisation operating regional facilities such as the Minnipa Agricultural Centre are a practical way of delivering on this aim. To increase GRDC’s capacity to actively listen and engage with growers, GRDC established Regional Cropping Solutions (RCS) Networks in 2012 within the Southern Region. There are four Networks operating in the Southern Region focused on the rainfall (production) zones: Low (LRZ), Medium (MRZ), High (HRZ) and Irrigation. Supported by four RCS Facilitators, these Networks comprise a membership of 42 growers, advisors and researchers, drawn from across the Region. Details of the Networks and their membership can be found on the GRDC website (www.grdc.com.au/RCSN). The RCS Networks work to support the GRDC Southern Panel in identifying and understanding local cropping issues and determine how best to tackle them. The Networks also play a central role in GRDC’s new Fast Track investments for RD&E. On a local basis, Dr Nigel Wilhelm (MAC Research Leader) is the Facilitator for the LRZ RCS Network. I encourage growers and advisors from the EP to make contact with Nigel or members of the LRZ RCS Network with issues affecting grain production in the local region. This does not replace the opportunity to make contact with members of the GRDC Southern Panel, but increases the chances that a GRDC contact is only just down the road from your place!

  • Whyalla and Eyre Peninsula
    SOUTH AUSTRALIAN CENTRE FOR ECONOMIC STUDIES ADELAIDE & FLINDERS UNIVERSITIES Regional Development Australia Whyalla and Eyre Peninsula Overview Geography RDA Whyalla and Eyre Peninsula covers an area of 170,500 square kilometres or 17.3 per cent of the State’s land mass. Population As at 30th June 2010 the region’s population was 58,700 persons or 3.6 per cent of the State’s population. The Indigenous population was estimated at 2,500 persons or 4.4 per cent of the region’s population. Economy and Labour force The region contributed $2,297 million to the State economy in 2006/07 or 3.4 per cent of gross state product. The four largest employing industries in the Whyalla Eyre Peninsula region were agriculture and fisheries (18.2 per cent), retail trade (14.3 per cent), manufacturing (11.9 per cent) and health and community services (10.9 per cent). Mining was relatively small at 1.4 per cent but is likely to show strong growth in the median term. The labour market is relatively strong with a participation rate above the State average and lower unemployment than the State average. Participation in VET courses is well above that for the State as a whole, while full-time participation in secondary school at age 16 is 71.4 per cent compared to South Australia at 78.4 per cent. NAPLAN reading results at year 3 are 15 percentage points lower than the State average but by year 7 they are 4.5 percentage points below the State average which indicates stronger school attendance over primary years of schooling.

  • Where to Holiday Once State Borders Open
    Where to holiday once state borders open Luxury hoteliers James and Hayley Baillie rented a beach property to live in during lockdown. Peter Braig Fiona CarruthersTravel Editor May 23, 2020 – 12.00am On the back of news over the past few days that the nation's most populous state, NSW, will be open for tourism from June 1, the $45 billion Australian tourism industry got a taste of what it can expect when borders open nationwide as phones began ringing again and bookings finally kick in. "We are gearing up for an incredible local tourism boom," says Tourism Australia boss Philippa Harrison. "And it's so important that this happens sooner rather than later, given the industry is made up of thousands of small operators, is a huge employer, and makes a significant contribution to the nation's GDP." Don't get too excited just yet. Only the borders between NSW, ACT and Victoria are open at present. And even intrastate holidays have only been given the green light within South Australia, and NSW as of June 1. From June 12, you can holiday up to 250km from your home in Queensland, and from June 15, Tasmania will join the Northern Territory in relaxing its rules around camping for its residents. But as the nation prepares to get out and about in line with strict government regulations around preventing the spread of COVID-19, we're already looking at our vast sunburnt backyard with fresh eyes. For husband and wife luxury hoteliers, James and Hayley Baillie, the restrictions mean they can't simply decamp to one of their own lodges (with their four boistrous teenage boys in tow), although that might change by the time school holidays roll around come spring.
