Agricultural conditions report from E J Orchard
In March the district agricultural adviser notes mild to hot temperatures with showers on the 1st 3rd and 26th aiding growth from the late January rains. Insect pests including bollworm and webbing caterpillar reduced lucerne seed prospects while green burr and stand improvement show effort in fallow cultivation fence line replacement and early feed wheat sowing. Summer sown sudan grass grazing returns remain strong and seed wheat preparation proceeds with grading and dusting equipment making farm to farm calls.
