LIVESTOCK SA is calling on the State Government to consider special provisions for young people working in farming operations to be included in legislation which raises the minimum age for obtaining a motorcycle learner’s permit in South Australia.

February Stock Journal Column: Lack of local trials limiting eID uptake in SA
