An unusually dry autumn has left many key cropping regions in dire need of rain and prompted dry seeding across South Australia and Western Australia. Fortunes have been fairer in the east, with rainfall over Easter providing relief in many parts and allowing growers to successfully seed pasture and broadacre crops.
While the slow start to the season has delayed timings, the weather outlook for the second half of the year is cautiously optimistic. Seasonal conditions are expected to improve to support the winter crop, and to bolster already improving livestock prices. You can find information in this edition of Seasons to support better decision making with the hand of seasonal conditions you have been dealt.
Elders Market Insights are a handy resource to help you stay across growing conditions and cropping and livestock markets. We look forward to keeping you informed, and working with you, throughout a busy season ahead.
