Angus VerleyCORRESPONDENT
So I suppose this moisture, particularly the deep moisture, could very much come in handy.

Dale BoydGUEST
Generally, in most average springs, we're going to get an absence of rainfall for a period of time and, yeah, the crops will draw from the deeper reserves.

Dale BoydGUEST
So the scenario we're looking at this stage for this year is, you know, the longer we can prolong the dip into those moisture reserves, the better, and then that will extend our season further with the crop being able to access readily plant-available water.

Dale BoydGUEST
So I'd be expecting that if the wheat is growing at a root development of one centimetre a day, they should be moving their roots down to 80 centimetres, 90.

Dale BoydGUEST
So they're certainly setting up that root architecture to tap into the deeper reserves if required in that spring period.
