Erasmus highlights the news stories in the 28 June issue of Farmer’s Weekly which includes a story about the South African winter feed status and most areas being in a better position while the Karoo is still desperately dry. There is a story on the latest agricultural confidence figures released by the Agricultural Business Chamber, Agbiz. The magazine also reports on Karakul sheep farmers in the Northern Cape which is left destitute as borders to Namibia are closed for exports of pelts because of the foot-and-mouth disease outbreak in South Africa earlier this year.
