Heat may spell disaster for SA crops

#1 Postby senorpepr » Wed Oct 13, 2004 8:25 am

Farmers are reeling from yesterday's extreme hot spell, with concern that tens of millions of dollars of produce could be lost from the unseasonably hot weather.

Temperatures reached 38 degrees at Ceduna, 40 at Wudinna, and 43 at Port Augusta in South Australia.
On the Eyre Peninsula, Kielpa farmer Ray Ellaway says it is a body blow to an already difficult season.
"Like the final death knell of what's been a poor season really, really it's going to put the nail in the coffin," he said.
