Horticulturalists across South Australia are now able to apply for grants of up to $300,000 to install new or replace damaged produce netting.

The $14.6 million Horticultural Netting Infrastructure Program will help farmers protect crops from extreme weather and pests, and forms another part of SA’s post-virus economic recovery.
