Farmers certainly benefit from favourable weather.
Lets hope they have both domestic and overseas sales to sustain their efforts.

I think that there will be a big demand for wheat considering the Ukrainian war is preventing Ukraine to export their wheat.

We certainly dont wish what is happening in any country as far as civil conflict or war is concerned to give us gain on the world market but unfortunately it does happen.
So does the weather during the growing seasons in other countries.
During these times we (our farmers) get good prices for our exports but this can and does have an effect on our domestic market.
From the article in the link.
It's unlikely [that prices will fall] given the pressures we've got in terms of the demand pulling grain and meat prices higher, and the supply-side impact of higher input costs," Mr Greenville said.
Consumer prices of fruit rose 4.9 per cent over the March quarter of 2022 and vegetables rose 6.6 per cent.
Unfortunately I think prices of most food will be rising in Australia even more in the near future.

I saw a pic of a watermelon, in a Coles supermarket in Cairns, in the Cairns Post, the price was $100. This was today.

That was the watermelon that came from Victorian markets in a B Double refrigerated truck.
Colesworths dont give a rats what food costs. That is the enjoyment of having a duopoly with food retail in this country,
In regional areas there exists many opportunities for the big duopoly to purchase from local farmers, but do they.?
Not very often but if another watermelon was on the same shelf and it was purchased from a local grower in Cairns or surrounding farms you would find that it would still be $100.

Looks like a new Landcruiser for farmers this year.
Toyota will be setting new sales records.
I hope it came with a warranty.
