Narromine Wheat Planting Below Last Season
In Narromine district the area under wheat this year drops from about 5000 acres last season to around 3000 for Frank Mack and 2300 for C Rice amid widespread curtailment. Farmers blame previous loose farming and the spread of wild oats from dirty seed sown after 1902 yields, while rain delayed ploughing and spalling, leading to more fallow and measured planting.
