Australian growers are halfway on winter planting

A STRONG and early start to winter-crop planting coupled with strong price prospects has piled on some upside to area for Australia’s three biggest winter crops, wheat, barley and canola.
While conditions range from dry in South Australia to sodden in parts of New South Wales and Queensland, most growers are around one third to halfway through their sowing programs.
Consensus is that most of Australia’s canola area has been planted, with growers now making headway on wheat, and barley planting yet to start in most regions.
