Pablo the dog inspects a barley crop at Kondinin. Beau Repacholi, who took this photograph, said the farm recorded another four millimetres of rain on Sunday night, taking the yearly to 245mm. "Early crops are very advanced for this time of the year, with lupins looking exceptional," Mr Repacholi said. "The majority of post spraying and nitrogen top-ups have been done. Most farmers around this region would be very pleased with the year so far." He said this season has been the best start for years, with 2013 and 2016 being similar years, although they didn't receive as much rain going into July. "Fingers crossed the rain is shared around and everyone has a kind finish," he said.
THE crops are well and truly out of the ground and on their way for the 2021 season, something Farm Weekly readers are only too happy to share.
