Earlier this year, many farms across the West Midlands region suffered a severe weather event and wind erosion. This episode features a conversation from back in late October this year that the West Midlands Group's executive officer Nathan Craig had with Department of Primary Industries and Regional Development’s Paul Findlater on the topic of wind erosion.

Tune in to hear Nathan and Paul discuss the history of wind erosion impacts on farming, the reasons why wind events have caused so much damage to paddocks in recent years and preventative methods to reduce the risk of erosion this Summer and Autumn.
