Farmers in a fix over fences
27 Jan 2005
The Victorian Farmers Federation has asked the state government to assist in rebuilding private fencing that borders crown land affected by fires in the north-west of the state. The state’s current policy covers fences damaged by fires started by prescribed burns and machinery on public land. The Balmoral fire directly affected 13 farmers, burnt over 10,000 hectares at least 200 kilometres of fencing and destroyed 6,400 sheep.
