    <post_content_short><![CDATA[15 November is National Ag Day, a day to celebrate the amazing work our farmers and the broader agricultural industry do for Australia.  Australian
irrigators are recognised as the most water efficient in the world, growing more crop per drop than many of our international counterparts.<br />
<br />
100% of Australia's rice is irrigated, and is world leading using 50% less than the global average [<a href="https://www.agriculture.gov.au/agriculture-land/farm-food-drought/crops/rice" target="_blank">DAFF</a>]. <br />
<br />
85% of Australia's cotton crop on average is irrigated, the cotton industry has increased its water use efficiency by 240% since the first crop in the 1970's <a href="https://www.agriculture.gov.au/agriculture-land/farm-food-drought/crops/cotton">[DAFF]</a><br />
