We had a nice burst of Spring weather last week, it was 29° on Friday in the wheatbelt - but it wasn't a pleasant day, a gusty Nor-Wester was blowing, ahead of a series of incoming cold fronts.
I couldn't keep my Akubra on my head! - it kept blowing off with wind gusts, and I hate that!
Saturday morning turned into Winter again, and it rained and showered all weekend. We got around 20mm, and the rain went through the wheatbelt of W.A. in varying amounts as well.
Just enough rain to mess up hay cutting! Hay cutting season is always the same, the hay always gets rained on as soon as it's cut!
But the upside is, the grain crops are looking better than I've seen in several years. We're on our way in this State to crack a total crop tonnage of more than 25M tonnes, that has only ever happened twice before here, in 2021 and 2022, surprisingly (in the midst of COVID).
However, the world grain harvest is bountiful, so the grain prices are sagging. The road trains and rail trains have been going flat-chat, trying to empty wheat bins, ahead of the bumper crop.
