2004 Pastoral Industry Survey of the Northern Territory (NT)

Department of Primary Industry, Fisheries and Mines,

The objectives of this survey are: to document the state of the cattle industry in the NT so that government and industry can monitor more closely the performance of research and development through time, to collect information to allow the needs of industry to be addressed by DPIFM and groups such as Industry Advisory Committees and the Northern Territory Cattlemen’s Association, to determine the most effective ways of providing extension information to producers in each Region and to initiate or improve communication between DPIFM staff and cattle producers, and to give the industry an up-to-date picture of management practices so that future directions for research and development can be more relevant
to industry. This report summarises the results on a NT basis, taken from the surveys that were carried out in the Katherine, Alice Springs, Barkly and Top End Regions.

This report compares the pastural industry in the Katherine/Daly region to Alice Springs, Barkly and Top End regions on a number of different issues.
