On-Farm Drought Resilience Grant Program
This program will close on 28 August 2020, or when government funding for this program is fully allocated, whichever comes first.
The Victorian Government through Agriculture Victoria of the Department of Jobs, Precincts and Regions (Agriculture Victoria) has established the On-Farm Drought Resilience Grant Program to assist eligible farm businesses to invest in on-farm drought preparedness and to seek business advice. The program is a key component of the increased drought assistance being provided to Victorian farmers. Visit the Rural Finance website for more information... Agriculture Workforce Plan Support
