Seasons that challenge traditional harvest and growing conditions are becoming the new normal for some Queenslanders struggling with changing circumstances, although the occasional farmer is getting lucky.
Mr Albert said this harvest had been "a tough one".
Co-founder Jason Kinsella said that, unlike some other regions, the rain had come at the right time in the right amount for his vineyard near Murgon in the South Burnett region. "So the ripening of the grapes is much slower, and the slower the ripening period, the acid remains high — which is what we want for the winemaking process — and the flavour is retained.It has been far from the best season for sugar cane growers in the Childers region, who finally finished what might be the longest crush in their 128-year history on January 9.
"This has been a season filled with many challenges, mostly out of our control, and I guess probably a season for the history books," he said.
