WQlD was all but a write off... again except a couple of small lucky patches around Wallumbilla and NE of Roma. lot of people gambled big time after missing out on a decent crop last year by planting some big acreages on very very marginal moisture. Once planted we had almost 6 weeks of very dry sub 0 mornings and as a result what did eventually come out of the ground has just sat their and done nothing. To add insult to injury, what has gotten out, is just being mowed down by roo's, wallabies, emu's and pigs coming in looking for food from out west. Some showers came through the other day and brightened up what was out of the ground, most of which isn't much past 3 to 4 leaf stage... if that. The big killer will be in late August, early September when those hot dry winds start blowing across and drying out the last of what little moisture there was left around those plants. Here's to a huge summer crop boys!!
