Drought Support | SA Donated Fodder Transport Assistance Scheme
The South Australian Government’s Donated Fodder Transport Drought Assistance Scheme, administered by PIRSA, supports drought-affected livestock producers by covering the freight costs of donated fodder deliveries through approved charitable organisations.
