The rainy season gets wetter

We have had good rains throughout the summer season but the volumes of rain reached new heights in February. In the period 28th - 30th January we received a total of 109mm at Sandstone Estates. This was accompanied by some light hail, which was worrying, but no crop damage was recorded.

With all our crops looking good and with the maize producing cobs at this time the rain is welcome. We have some concerns about too much moisture on the ripe sunflower heads.

Full details of our annual rainfall appear below.
