Limestone Coast Crop Yields Predicted Amid Disease and Rainfall Patterns
What happened
In the Limestone Coast, growers are predicting an average yielding season in some areas, while others are anticipating a potentially large harvest. Waterlogging in low-lying paddocks has negatively affected yields in the middle and lower parts of the region. Despite issues such as leaf rust in barley and stripe rust in wheat, timely fungicide application has kept most diseases under control.

Why it matters
Agronomist Nathan Tink expects the current year could be the largest grain production year ever for Bordertown and surrounding areas. This prediction is supported by favorable rainfall, including early October rain and sufficient subsoil moisture from earlier months.
