STATE AG MINISTER SAYS RAIN ISN’T DROUGHT BREAKING

“Things are still looking quite grim right across the state. We’ve got around 98 percent of the state in the midst of drought.”
Some landowners are experiencing what’s called a “green drought.”
Grass sprouts make the land look green, but it’s not enough to feed livestock.
