Planting summer crops will be too difficult for many farmers across the state if the wet conditions persist and that means farm incomes will be significantly down. NSW Agriculture Minister Dugald Saunders said the damage bill would probably run into hundreds of millions of dollars and a lot of crops would be lost."In that order of magnitude, yes, but it is always difficult to put a figure on it this early," he said.
He urged producers to report flood damage to their properties, including land, infrastructure and animals, as help is available.
