Northern Victorian farmers struggle to produce grain yields in tough season

GrainCorp corporate affairs manager Jess Simons said while northern Victoria struggled to produce yields, the Wimmera Mallee region fared far better.

“It was a mixed bag across the state overall as we know,” she said.

“The north-east corner and northern Mallee regions certainly faced more than their fair share of challenges in one of the worst droughts on record.

“Whereas we had a record year in parts of the Wimmera Mallee.

“We can only hope for a better season next year.”
