Holleton,the crops in central QlD are O.K. there will be some good yields there but from there down to northern N.S.W. a stick and a bag will just about harvest the crops.Since May we have had only 1 inch of rain,since Febuary only about 2and a half inches.A lot of farmers planted on the May -June rain and now the BEST! of them are being baled up as they won't make a head fill and the rest are being fed off,ploughed out or sprayed.Alot of cost for no return. I would say that there will be a lot low hour second-hand headers(combines for you U.S. guys) come on the market soon,no crops to harvest;no repayments.Our local JD dealer group signed up over 23 STS sales and so they got some good trades but wether all these will be delivered is another story.If our dollar stays so low we won't be able to buy new. No locusts here yet;they would have to pack their own lunch if they wanted to eat here.john
