00:00Here at We War, cotton planting is just about to ramp up.
00:05We've already got it going further north around Mungandai and Moree.
00:09And even though the season's been dry to date, there's plenty of water allocation.
00:14So irrigated crops look like they'll stand a good chance.
00:18Dry land, there's not too movement on that front unless we get quite a bit more rain,
00:22maybe in that 50mm range.
00:24But all in all, the planters are going and they're very, very busy,
00:29like here at Nathan Hamblin's farm.
00:31Some cotton is out of the ground already.
00:33Pre-irrigation and watering up is underway with a good outlook for the whole valley
00:38with water in the dam and in the river system.
00:42Here on farm, we'll be looking with the soil temperatures rising very rapidly in the last week.
00:47We'll be hooking the planter up and planting in the next week or so, all before harvest.
