The Mallee districts of South Australia and Victoria, and sections of the NSW Riverina, are enduring some of the driest conditions in the nation this year as drought conditions continue.

This week, Adelaide will host a National Drought Forum between government and industry to find avenues for support and preparedness for the farming communities bearing the brunt of the dry spell.

• Guest: David Jochinke, President of the National Farmers' Federation
