Droughts and flooding rains

Talk about droughts and flooding rains. In the US, weather continues to play havoc, delaying planting of the corn crops and causing flooding of wheat fields. Here in Australia, areas of the east coast are looking down the barrel of a third year of below par winter crop rainfall.

In our part of the world, follow up rain is badly needed but on the other side of the globe, too much rain is rattling markets.

After some busy weeks of burning diesel in the paddock, this year’s autumn sowing program is now approaching the finishing line, bringing with it a bit more optimism.

Hats off to the Grain Growers Association for their proactive advocacy on crop insurance. In this month’s edition of the GGA Magazine, one of our crop insurance customers, Corey Blacksell is featured. Corey was one of the first growers to take up our innovative Frost Insurance product and he talks about his experience in this article.

With planting underway across the east coast, attention now turns to the arrival of follow-up rain to assist with crop establishment and building further moisture for those yet to get the planter out of the shed.
