Australia runs on diesel — and farmers say the system is starting to crack. Karl speaks with Tamworth cattle producer Ben Duddy about fuel shortages being reported across rural Australia, where some farmers say diesel deliveries are already being rationed. From harvesting crops and feeding cattle to transporting food across the country, diesel powers nearly every part of the agricultural supply chain. If supply tightens further, the impact could stretch far beyond the farm gate. This is a raw, honest conversation about the realities of farming, the pressures facing rural families and why some farmers believe the country is dangerously unprepared.
