Growers with mixed farming enterprises will almost certainly have an extra paddock or two allocated to winter crop when planting commences, as their livestock numbers are well below normal levels. This means that the potential area available for winter cropping in the eastern states of Australia in will be substantially higher than in recent years. The potential for a big crop is building, but there is still a very long way to go.
Meanwhile, in Queensland and northern NSW, the limited area sown to sorghum this summer now has a genuine shot at achieving average yields, assuming regular rainfall continues for the balance of the growing season. It is extremely difficult to get an accurate handle on the actual area sown as the planting rains came so late.
Suffice to say it was well below the total area growers intended to plant if the rains had been timelier. At this stage, total production in central Queensland, southern Queensland and NSW are estimated to be , tonnes, , tonnes and 75, tonnes respectively. Getting grain moisture readings down to acceptable levels can be a challenge as the days are quite short, there is invariably a morning dew, and the daytime temperatures are much cooler. The harvest also tends to be occurring when the winter crop is being planted, which strains farm resources and challenges management priorities.
In international sorghum news, the US Department of Agriculture has revealed, via its daily reporting system, that China has purchased , tonnes of sorghum.
The global trade has been waiting for news of grain sales to China as a sign that it was starting to fulfil the phase one commitments it signed off on in mid-January.
Last week's transaction is the first single sale of more than , tonnes of any agricultural commodity to China since the trade deal was signed. As part of the continuous disclosure regulations in the US, exporters must promptly report such transactions, commonly referred to as "flash sales". Sales of smaller amounts only have to be reported on a weekly basis. According to USDA export data, China has booked more than , tonnes of sorghum this marketing year.
However, that total does not include sales of ,00 tonne to "unknown destinations" in the third week of February. Sales tagged accordingly are usually destined for China, and the trade is confident they were the buyer in this instance. ABARES currently has an estimated national cotton plant of 82,ha, down 76pc year on year, but similar to sorghum there is further risk to the downside on this number.
This would be the smallest cotton plant since when the industry was confined to northern NSW and southern Queensland. It appears that you are currently using Ad Blocking software.
