Cover story
Damaging cloud bursts, followed by drought —
what's happening to our weather? Many
scientists and those who study the figures like
Jack MacPherson of the Maitland Valley Conser-
vation Authority,
say the figures
prove global
warming is here.
If so, farming may
be different than
in the past. What
can farmers do to
adapt to the new
circumstances?
Food policy
consultant Rod
MacRae looks at
options.
