The point being that cereal crops, in the ripening stage, adversely affects the potential spring finishing rains.
The sheer vastness of the “wheatbelt” cropping area impacts the historical rainfall averages, couple this with the UHI effects of the urban sprawl that we’ve seen over the past 50 odd years and it shouldn’t need a climate scientist to work out that these particular anthropogenic climate factors are much more likely to be the cause of reduced Spring rainfall in the SW of WA than the fantasy land stuff the Bed Wetter’s believe in.
