Dam levels spur confidence

Victorian irrigators are banking on at least two more years of full water allocations. The rapidly filling Murray-Darling storages have coincided with optimistic forecasts for many horticulture prices which have growers talking positively with financiers for the first time in years. Irrigator leaders said confidence had returned to many industries after the sodden end to the drought, reports Weekly Times Now. “The storages are pretty close to chock-a-block, there is a light at the end of the tunnel for a lot of people,” Murray Valley Winegrowers chairman Dennis Mills said.
