Drought fears rise as grain regions face shortages
South Australia braces for continuing drought in the far north with potential cattle losses while Western Australia reports no meaningful rainfall. The Minister for Agriculture Mr. Graham warns of wheat shortfalls across NSW and other states if conditions persist. Sydney Weather Bureau records minimal rain for the winter season with no prospects of drought-breaking storms. New England graziers stock up on chaff from Tamworth and Queensland for winter shortfalls, competing with southern graziers at higher prices.
