There's nothing like good rain after a dry period to make farmers very happy. So today we’ll check in with some of those happy farmers. First to Gippsland which has had a very difficult, dry winter.

We'll head to Willaura in western Victoria where farmers say it couldn't have arrived at a better time.

Then to the Wimmera, where the deluge in recent days has been just the ticket for grain growers.

As Australia prepares for a near-record winter crop, the latest data from the Tractor and Machinery Association reveals header sales have surprisingly plummeted by 40 per cent.

More farmers are diversifying their businesses by offering city-dwellers a taste of country life through luxury farm stays.
