Tasmanian dairy farmers receive funding for cow-friendly, water-safe solutions

Tasmanian dairy farmers can now apply for grants worth up to $5500 through the Cows out of Creeks program, aimed at improving water quality by removing cattle from waterways.

The grants, which are delivered by DairyTas and funded by the Tasmanian government, will assist farmers in implementing measures such as fencing, stock crossings, off-stream watering and river bank plantings.
