The article offers a look at agricultural prospects and developments in MacIntyre Valley, Australia in 2005. It is always dangerous to speculate on valley averages, but indications are that the MacIntyre looks like averaging in the high three bales per acre, into the low four bales per acre range. Since picking was finished, it seems as if it has not stopped raining. Regardless of where it actually finishes, it can only be termed an outstanding result. It is fair to claim that the catchment soil profile is essentially full, and any decent rainfall events in July to September 2005 should run a pretty reasonable river. The winner of the irrigated crop competition was the Donavan family from Glentown, Toobeah with an outstanding crop of Sicot 289BR, with a ginned yield of 5.22 bales per acre. |
