Crops in the Boorowa area have been seriously impacted by late frost with many now expected to be below average in yield.
Crops had been on track for average to above average yields, according to Agronomist with Corkhill Ag Services, Marty Corcoran.
However, the outlook changed quickly with frosts hitting low lying crops around Boorowa at the end of October and the start of November.
Mr Corcoran said some badly affected crops had already been cut for hay. However, he remained optimistic crops sown at higher elevations would still be alright.
"Harvest should start in early December and I think the season will be slightly shorter than normal for the majority of crops." He said.
In relation to prices Mr Corcoran said ,"prices for APW wheat should be north of $400 a tonne whilst Canola will be around $650 a tonne, down a little on the past couple of years but still pretty good."

I was born in Cowra and grew up in the region as part of a farming family. I've had extensive careers both in Journalism and Local Government. I'm passionate about supporting and advancing the local communities of the region and have a keen interest in the current affairs affecting residents. I love being outdoors and I live on a small rural property just outside Young. My spare time is spent with family and friends, camping, fishing, gardening, looking after my small flock of merino sheep and being with my companion dogs. I love to travel and I have been to New Zealand, Europe and Canada. I hope to travel more broadly in Europe in the coming years.
