It is important that all industry participants are fully informed about the new arrangements and how they can take advantage of the opportunities available. For the sessions to be most effective they need to be completed before the upcoming harvest. The department is working with state farmer organisations to develop an information program which covers all bases and is accessible to industry stakeholders across Australia. We are confident the program will address industry needs. But, if it is found after the first harvest that further assistance is required in this area, that will be considered.
