Much of NSW, southern Qld and eastern Vic have received an early autumn break, with at least 30mm of rainfall over any 7 days in March/early April.

Follow-up falls in April should mean these regions will be in an ideal position for winter crop plantings: brnw.ch/21wIJMm

I loved presenting at today’s #ABARESOutlook 2024, THE place for leaders in agribusiness, ag economics, research & regional development. My 2024 priorities: #climatesmart ag, #droughtresilience , expanding international #trade markets & enhancing our Aust #biosecurity system.

Panel discussion on risks & opportunities of increasing e water allocation trading done and dusted, as #ABARESOutlook wraps. Yes there is risk & protocols are needed to not unduly influence the market but we need e water to make the most of their allocations, like irrigators do
