Weather Last week was generally overcast and mild. Some showers extended into the wheatbelt, giving up to 10 mm of rain. Most south west and south coast centres received up to10-25 mm. Some thundery showers in the east on Saturday with fresh easterly winds. Yields variable, with early sown crops best.
Oats are generally lightweight.
Pulses have good seed colour but small seeds, with many growers grading. Pasture production is generally poor but regional impact likely to be low due to low stock numbers. Locust numbers low with high mortalities due to warm dry weather. Pastures are generally poor and hay yields are well down. Sheep generally in good condition.
