This season’s shaping up as one of the toughest in recent memory in southern Australia. For many growers, the hard part isn’t sowing—it’s deciding what not to sow.
With one of the driest starts on record and stored soil moisture sitting near zero, the 2025 season is already demanding careful judgment. Across the EP, some growers have delayed sowing altogether, while others are adjusting crop mixes or pulling back on paddocks. This newsletter brings together insights from conversations across the region—grounded in practical experience, supported by data, and focused on managing risk without closing off opportunity.
There’s no right answer this season – but there are better ways to weigh up the options.
The Eyre Peninsula team apply a RiskWi$e approach to making these challenging decisions.
