Area of Fallow Greatly Reduced in South Australia
In South Australia for the 1942-14 season fallow areas shrink due to labour, fertilizer, and fuel shortages. Belalie Creek catchment shows only 1500 acres fallow amid heavy rains and dense stubble, with soil cover preserving moisture. Farmers foresee reduced wheat output but no income drop if livestock and crop prices hold, though labour and pasture needs rise as land modernizes from continuous cultivation.
