Manilla shows best wheat crop in year at Royal Show
In North West Australia a field wheat contest judged by Royal Agricultural Society officials highlighted the Manilla crop of A H Nixon. Yandilla King and Riverina led the standings though Yandilla King faced purity and type concerns. Drought and rainfall patterns shaped yields with Oakhampton’s farming area expanding. Wool prices rose, marking a strong season with Geelong and Newcastle sales noting record bids.
