Farmer Jason with Neil King who are both driving headers, take a break at Jason and Stacey Coleman's wheat farm on December 10, 2017 in Temora, Australia. Heavy rainfall across the Riverina region delayed harvesting and have affected crop quality. More than 100mm of rain fell in parts of the grain-growing region in the first week of December, causing many cereal crops to fail the minimum requirements for top milling quality. The Australian Bureau of Resource Economics and Sciences (ABARES) estimates the total winter crop production for 2017 at 35.1 million tonnes, down 41 per cent from the record 59.5 million tonnes crop produced in 2016/17.
