Federal Member for Cowper Pat Conaghan said these initiatives could help farmers turn an innovative idea into reality, plus improve showground facilities.
"Our government is focussed on supporting rural Australians as it is a challenging time for people on the land," he said.
"I encourage farmers and landcare groups to look at our Small Farms Small Grants options and show societies to upgrade their showground facilities and infrastructure through the AgShows program."
The Small Farms Small Grants Program encourages projects that provide best practice sustainable agriculture or an action that increases the capacity of land managers to adopt best practice sustainable agriculture. Funding of between $5,000 and $50,000 is available.
