“We got the Drought Preparedness Grant to build a commodity shed. The shed was roughly $75,000; we got the concrete floor where we put the cotton seed and we do our own hay and silage." - Anthony Curtis, Charbray breeder 
“We have been able to reduce our power bills by about 30%..." - Lisa Volz, producers
“There were crossings washed out, there was topsoil pushed off paddocks, there was trash over the top of cane. It was just a disaster; you didn’t even know where to start. That grant got us through to keep going." - Mathew Di Mauro, cane and watermelon grower
"I'd definitely recommend QRIDA. Especially for a first-generation farmer to get some land that you can sink your teeth into and get going initially with such a higher capital cost.” - Nathan Cleasby, crayfish producer
