Rainfall across WA was mainly inner wheatbelt while in QLD rain was west of major CQ cropping areas – no impact. BOM has rain for southern, central and eastern VIC which will benefit crops there. Hot (mid-30’s) over the weekend for QLD/nth NSW (early 30’s).
WA harvest is not far away for those with early crops planted on rain from patchy thunderstorms. But the bulk of the crop is late and about a month away (2 weeks behind normal). The WA grower hasn’t sold much yet due to uncertainty of the season. The need for cash flow might see more harvest selling pressure than normal in the West.
