As anticipated, with Cyclone ITA Bowen received unprecedented rain fall. Wide spread flooding occurred but luckily for most, damage was minimal. Our farm is already back on track with our next planting of patch 4 due to begin 23 April. Not all growers were as fortunate as us, but total loss of planting would be 5 -10% as a maximum of what was already in the ground. All our other growers, bar one have had the same impact as us. On the bright side, we now have fresh surface water for the next 3 seasons, our 3.500 MEG dam is overflowing.
