August Weather Report Favors Western Australia Crops and Stock
The Weather Bureau notes above normal August rainfall across most agricultural districts of south-west Western Australia. Excess rainfall slowed pasture growth and affected stock in the south coastal division, with dairying yields reduced. Early potato crops suffered losses, while light soils see wheat backward due to moisture and low temperatures. Overall, seasonal prospects are exceptional, with abundant water and good livestock conditions in many zones, though some areas report backward crops and yellowing in oats.
