    <site:product_Product_description>&lt;p&gt;Australia&amp;rsquo;s wheat - sheep production zone covers 35 million hectares in southern and eastern Australia. Its 15 700 wool-producing farms contain 55% of the nation&amp;rsquo;s sheep. Annual rainfall in the zone is 300&amp;ndash;600 mm.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Climate change threatens the productivity of Australia&amp;rsquo;s wheat and sheep industries. It reduces the value of historical climate knowledge and increases uncertainty about the bounds of future climates, making farm decisions more complex.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;While Australian farmers are already adapting to a highly variable climate, adapting to significant climate change is a challenge. Here we provide a case study of the Yarra Yarra &amp;ndash; Greenough &amp;ndash; Moore Hill region in the central west of Western Australia.&lt;/p&gt;</site:product_Product_description>
