Pacific Seeds has donated more than 1,600 bags of forage sorghum seed, enough to plant over 4000 ha.

The seed has been delivered to drought-stricken farmers in Queensland and northern New South Wales.

Pacific Seeds managing director Barry Croker said the donation represented a tangible way that they could help farmers through this difficult time.

During his opening address at a recent invasive species workshop, Mr Bruce Christie, Chair of Environment and Invasives Committee (EIC), recognised invasive species incursions as “having the potential to seriously impact our environment, economy, and way of life.”

Mr Christie opened the two-day national workshop, which focused on detecting and responding to new environmental invasives before they establish. He acknowledged the complexity and challenges associated with environmental invasive species management, but maintained that collectively Australia’s response specialists have the expertise to combat the problem.
