The Northern Cape Department of Agriculture, Land Reform and Rural Development has welcomed the good rains that has rained in the past days. The Festive rains will ease the burden on our farmers especially the emerging farmers who are the hardest hit by drought. It will also bring a sigh of relief to our farmers both commercial and emerging.
The Department was noting with concern the dryness of the veld, due to lack of rain in the past months.
The dryness of the vegetation due to lack of rain create perfect conditions for runaway veld fires.
