Farmer affected by the drought in New south Wales, Australia.
Peter Sutherland has farmed this land on the edge of Lake Hume at Thologolong in New South Wales, Australia all of his life. His farm is the birthplace of the famous Murray Grey Cattle. ver the last 20 years Peter has watched the stocking rates on his farm drop by over 40% as the parched land can no longer grow the fodder to support his cattle. In many areas farmers have had to give up altogether as their farms become uneconomic due to the prolonged drought.
