Australia Drought Reduces Wheat Crop

The Australian New South Wales wheat crop forecast has been cut by an estimated one million tonnes because of the ongoing drought.

Due to a lack of rain, the state’s wheat crop has been cut by 20 per cent. The area of the state in drought is up two per cent this month to almost 66 per cent.

Primary Industries Minister Ian Macdonald says some crops have already failed in the dry, above-average temperatures and added that remaining crops desperately need rain.
