Excellent germination assured for whole wheat crop
Mild to cool weather with several frosts and frequent showers marked the month. Wellington recorded 1.34 inches of rain, bringing year to date to 11.39 inches. Late sowings benefited from ideal conditions, with rapid growth of kier sowings and some risk of frost damage to early maturing varieties. Rabbits damaged sowings as season ends, while wheat variety trial at Buckinbar Yeoval included Glenwari and Insignia with differing resistances. Pastures and conserved fodder showed strong emergence, though some areas lacked feed before the last rain. Early frosts cut summer crops, but cabbage, cauliflower, turnips and other vegetables benefited from winter crops. onions expanded with mechanized sowing and weeding. Aphids, cabbage grub and white butterfly affected brassicas. DDT and BHC dust used for control though BHC near harvest may taint produce.
