NEWS IN BRIEF: Virtual fencing gets green light, new RIC loans, young auctioneer finalists announced

Victoria and NSW have both green-lighted virtual fencing technology for cattle this week. Farmers adopting this technology, which uses collars with GPS and wireless technology to control livestock without physical fences, will need to comply with certain requirements – such as using approved technologies, completing manufacturer training, maintaining a physical boundary fence or barrier and ensuring collars are checked regularly. Victorian Farmers Federation (VFF) President Brett Hosking said: “This announcement is the culmination of years of behind the scenes work and we thank Minister for Agriculture Ros Spence for backing this technology and working with us to get it done,” Mr Hosking said. Minister for Agriculture and Regional NSW, Tara Moriarty said the state’s farmers now have access to this new technology like their counterparts use in Queensland, Northern Territory, Western Australia and Tasmania.
