To comment on the year that was 2006.
Nobody is going to argue that 2006 was a disastrous year for agriculture in southern Australia. After a dream start in most areas, many farmers were saying that “the crop went in the best it had for years,” but the absence of useful follow up rain, and in some cases damage due to frost, was a bitter pill to swallow.
