The federal agriculture minister Murray Watt was in Adelaide this week for a major regional agricultural technology conference and talks about South Australian and nationally strong agricultural production returns despite challenges like the weather and the farm labour shortage. We discuss clearing the visa backlog to find more workers on farm, the cost of electronic traceability of sheep and how much the Commonwealth is contributing. We get the low-down on the chats with Europen Union representatives on what they had to say about Australian farmers' sustainability and right to use terms like prosecco, feta and parmesan as the fine print of a potential trade deal is hammered out.
