Darling Downs, Queensland, Australia | Darling Downs, Southern Qld.
Crops still looking good on the Downs but rain required very soon to maintain potential. Crop was planted with excellent moisture and has had only 25mm rain in one fall n late June since planting. Almost two months since that rain has the crop growing entirely on stored moisture at the moment. Days have warmed up earlier than we would like and crops will be pushing heads out in the next 2 weeks. With 2 inches rain shortly (unlikely) we would grow above average crop but without rain likely to be slightly below average.
Most of Qld is on a knife edge now, must rain in next 2 weeks or crop size in this state will halve. |
