The USDA reports for the second straight year that Australia will likely harvest a small wheat crop with below average yields starting in November. Seedings were down due to unfavorable weather and phosphates shortages, with June being the driest on record and only limited rains in July. If relief does not come, production may fall short of last year and require most of the crop to meet domestic needs, affecting 1945 exportable surplus.
