Jack Slack-Smith, a multi-generational farmer age 65, feeds sheep on Epping Farm near Pilliga in NSW, Australia in November 2018. Jack and his wife Janâ€™s property has been in drought since 2012, forcing them to sell part of their property to service their bank loans. They have reduced their sheep stock from 7000 to approximately 3600, and their beef cattle from 260 breeders to 22. As the drought goes on Jack and Jan slide further into debt because they are forced to buy feed to keep their stock alive. Australia is experiencing itâ€™s most severe drought in decades with the state of New South Wales declared drought affected, and the majority of the state of Queensland being in drought for the past six-years.
