    WA’s grain farmers won’t start planting their crops until next month, but heavy widespread rains have delivered a major confidence boost for the season ahead.

    Farmers across most of the Wheatbelt were beneficiaries of the unusual widespread rain and thunderstorms, with many receiving more rain in a day than normally delivered during the month of March.

    This week’s rain has set up some farmers for their best start to the the season in at least three years. Previously dry dams in some areas of the Eastern Wheatbelt are now overflowing.
