Product Information
During the last 12 years large tracts of southern and eastern Australia have experienced a sustained dry period. The last 7 years has been more severe than the previous years. At Birchip in north western Victoria where I come from for example, our growing season rainfall has been 38% less than average over the last seven years and 28% less over the last twelve years. Interestingly our growing season rainfall over the previous twelve years from 1985 to 1996 was 20% above average.
