Harvesting has finally begun at
Greenvale and with most harvesting well underway around the district we
didnt sow any canola which is the earlier maturing crop. The very hot dry spell a number of weeks ago seems to have done damage to some crops around the district where the plant just stopped growing prematurely. And after harvesting some of our oats and barley it seems that we may have suffered the same issue. Added to this the depressed grain prices and the grain companies refusing to up the prices in the face of low supply and it generally looks like being an unfavourable year. Additionally the
fertiliser company
Incitecpivot has decided their $100M profit last year
wasnt big enough and will increase the price of
their product for this coming season... One wonders how we are going to feed the world....
