“We used the First Start Loan to buy a second, larger property that we could grow more produce on and hopefully make our business viable in that area of land.” - Jessica Volker.

"Having a feedlot operation that’s fed by irrigation, it allows us to contain a lot of cattle in a small area to feed them, so we’re not putting so much grazing pressure on the property” - Brendon Curr

"Anybody who's thinking about getting ready for drought - look at QRIDA. They have amazing assistance and amazing people there to help you with any application and progress your business to be better prepared." - Stewart Conochie, fourth-generation dairy farmer

“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

“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
