Rain, finally, in the land of Oz
Australian farmers finally got some rain this spring, ending a seven year drought, and are planting one of the country-continent’s biggest wheat crops ever. The New York Times and Reuters news agency report that farmers still have their fingers crossed. They are looking for a 200 million tonne crop but will only get it if timely rains arrive in their spring, September.
