Editorial

Welcome to the latest edition of the Barkly Beef newsletter, which contains a variety of information applicable to all across the Barkly.

The Northern Territory (NT) Department of Primary Industry and Resources (DPIR) staff say a sad farewell to our Livestock Industry Division Director, Neil MacDonald, who is retiring after three decades of service. Neil has always been a staunch advocate for the Barkly, and will be sorely missed.

An exciting new research project, Paddock Power, is starting up on the Barkly. This aims to help producers with decision making regarding infrastructure development and its impact on production and return on investment.

The North Australia Climate Program have provided the latest Climate Outlook for the Barkly and a flyer for their upcoming workshops.

Geoscience Australia continue with their groundwater surveys in the region.

And last, but not least, the Animal Health News and Pastoral Market Updates.

The Tennant Creek DPIR office would like to welcome our latest recruit, Doug Townsley, who has recently commenced in the role of Administration Officer.

Happy reading!
