The Previous photo of the Sorghum just emerging was taken on around the 10th of November so this is about 24days later than that photo, I am happy with the growth. We have had around 80mm since it was dry planting into a dryish topsoil in late October, the profile was full under that so the 80mm has consolidated the profile from top to bottom. Nov is on average the wettest month with an average of 90mm of rain. We actually had more like 60mm in November as the other 20mm fell last night (Dec)
December average is around 50mm and if we get another 30mm that would be heaps until hopefully a bit in Jan.With the cooler temps the plants in this environment seem to be very efficient on the water use. Time will tell though. Also the most recent 600 hectares was all planted on a solid configuration of 30 inch or 75cm rows,this was due to my view that we would recieve adequate in crop rain, wait and see.
