far sNSW , Australia | Crops in S half of NSW are in big trouble. Photos I'm hoping to attach are of one farm I do on shares. Normally 21 inch country, 4t/Ha (50 bpa) average wheat yields. Last 3 yrs yields have been 10, 7, 20 bpa. This year 1 variety if no more rain will go about 7, other variety hopefully 20. Canola with no more rain will yield nothing. Canola is in mid flowering, big areas change from yellow to orange. Crops 50 km SE on home farm could still go 50bpa if more rain, otherwise will do probably 30. We have rainfall records going back 140 yrs, and each of last 4 years has been in the bottom 10 % of historical totals.
