15.01.2022 This #AgDay we'd like to introduce you to one of our farming CWA members. Meet Jenny. "I live on a property near Illabo (18 km from Junee) in the Riverina. Illabo's population is 144. The name Illabo comes from an indigenous word meaning 'where', but some say the B, N and G once fell off the town sign!... "This area of the Riverina is mainly cropping and sheep. My husband is an interstate truck driver - a front line worker - which means he is away from Sunday afternoon to Friday night or Saturday morning. I have him for 1 and a half days a week to help me do things on the farm I can't manage by myself. He is a wonderful husband and a hard working man. Part of our farm is leased to a neighbouring farmer. This year we have barley growing which will be harvested in the next week or so. It has been such a bumper season (which means we had rain at the right times) that parts of a lot of crops in the area are lying down because they are so heavy. This makes it more difficult and longer work for the harvesters. Weather permitting, the crops will make it safely into the many storage silos in the area. We have also planted and fenced off areas of the property for regeneration, which is going well since de-stocking happened 3 years ago. "My branch is Illabo Evening branch. Illabo branch originally opened in 1932 and closed in 1994. It was recently re-opened in October and already has 10 lovely members. I am the proud president and also the privileged president of Hume group and State Executive Committee Member representative."

09.01.2022 Today a new Aussie book launches that, like a good Christmas pudding, has been a long time in the making. https://links.rfds.org.au/DarnAGoodYarn Together, the ...RFDS and Country Women's Association wanted to capture those "Struth!" moments - both good and bad -- with real stories of how Aussies come together in times of need. The volume and quality of submissions received was amazing, from all over Australia, from authors young and old. More than 80 contributions made it into this volume and the book launches TODAY to raise money for both organisations and bring joy for the Christmas season. This book will surprise you, make you laugh out loud, bring joy and maybe shed a tear. It is a book about today as much as it is about historical events. And the wry sense of humour displayed, in sometimes very severe circumstances, well communicates our famous Aussie spirit. Spread the word and share the joy. #RFDS #CWA #FlyingDoc

02.01.2022 Some tips to beat the heat this summer...

01.01.2022 The CWA of NSW is delighted to have received additional drought funding from the Federal Government through the CWA of Australia. This is a crucial time for all rural families, approaching Christmas, especially for those still suffering from the effects of drought. Eligible farming and farming dependent businesses in drought, drought affected and drought recovering areas of NSW may still apply for maximum grant of up to $3000 to go towards household bills. The DPI Com...bined Drought Indicator can be found here: https://edis.dpi.nsw.gov.au Please see our website for more details on how to apply: https://www.cwaofnsw.org.au/droughtaid Note: Those who have previously received the maximum $3,000 since our Drought Aid program started in 2018 cannot re-apply.
