维多利亚的农民面临持续的干燥条件,尽管没有立即出现粮食短缺,但面临提高肉类价格的风险。 Victoria's farmers face ongoing dry conditions, risking higher meat prices despite no immediate food shortages.

尽管天气变暖,而且10月5日开始日光节省时间,但维多利亚州仍面临着持续的农业挑战,因为干旱状况持续存在,降雨量仍然不足。 Victoria faces ongoing farming challenges despite warmer weather and the start of daylight saving time on October 5, as dry conditions persist and rainfall remains insufficient. 谷物农民和维多利亚农民联合会主席布雷特·霍斯金强调迫切需要降雨,特别是在作物较发达的北部地区。 Grain farmer and Victorian Farmers Federation president Brett Hosking stressed the urgent need for rain, especially in northern areas where crops are more advanced. 虽然预计不会出现粮食短缺,但不断上涨的生产成本正在迫使农民减少牲畜数量,有可能使牛肉和羊羔价格上升,已接近创纪录的高位。 While food shortages are not expected, rising production costs are pushing farmers to reduce livestock, potentially increasing beef and lamb prices already near record highs.
