Campbell<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><strong>December 1, 2016<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>South Burnett Mayor Keith Campbell has encouraged local farmers who are suffering from low rainfall to apply for Individual Droughted Property (IDP) declarations.<\/p>\n<p>The Mayor said the State Government&#8217;s decision to revoke the South Burnett&#8217;s drought status earlier this year appears to have been premature.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I know of a number of farmers in the western parts of the Shire who are really suffering from water shortages and low rainfall,&#8221; the Mayor said.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The drought has never really ended for them, and recent conditions have only made things worse.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The Mayor said he&#8217;d been advised that once a region&#8217;s drought status has been revoked, the minimum time it would take to be reinstated was 12 months.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;What this means is that the best way forward for farmers who need relief right now is to apply for an IDP,&#8221; the Mayor said.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;This will allow them to access the Drought Relief Assistance Scheme (DRAS).&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><strong>DRAS entitles IDP-declared farmers to:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>A fodder transport freight subsidy on fodder used in maintenance feeding of cattle, sheep, goats, deer, working and breeding horses that are not normally fed<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>A water cartage freight subsidy on water carted for stock<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>A stock returning from agistment freight subsidy on the return of stock previously sent to agistment<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>A restocking freight subsidy for restocking purchases made within 24 months after a drought declaration is lifted, and &#8230;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>An emergency water infrastructure rebate on establishing water infrastructure to supply water for emergency animal welfare needs<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>South Burnett farmers who&#8217;d like more information about IDPs should contact Damien O&#8217;Sullivan at the Department of Agriculture and Fisheries in Kingaroy on (07) 4160-0717 or 0459-812-261.<\/p>\n<p>More information about IDPs is available <b><a
