Breakfast

This season has yielded a bumper crop for wheat growers in parts of New South Wales and Queensland, thanks to generous rainfall. But the wet weather isn't letting up, threatening to spoil a rare opportunity for a good return by slowing the harvest in its first weeks. Add to that the pressures of the first year without a single desk export system and a serious shortage of workers and all of a sudden, lots of wheat growers are looking at another bad year.
