Northern Territory Date Farm Begins Recovery After Flood Damage
What happened
Pollination has started at the Tamara Date Plantation, the Northern Territory's largest date farm, located 70 kilometers southeast of Alice Springs. This effort comes as the farm attempts to recover after heavy rains in February destroyed its annual harvest. The crop is currently expected to be ready for harvest by early March.
