Farm fodder crisis will continue unless we confront climate change

SO WE’VE had a few days of sunshine and we’re telling ourselves the fodder crisis is over.

But one thing is for sure — there’s going to be another fodder crisis and another one after that because the fodder crisis is a symptom of climate change.

It’s been the longest winter on record in this country. Not since the records began 70 years ago has there been a March as cold as this year’s. It’s been followed by the coldest April in 25 years in some areas of the country.
