A Better Harvest

Kirralee Plains Farm News After a dry start to the season, Omar and Amira’s family has begun harvesting crops at their farm. The wheat is ready to be cut and ground into flour. A nearby paddock of canola is covered in yellow flowers; later, its seeds will be pressed to make cooking oil. The family also grows carrots and pumpkins. These vegetables need healthy soil, water and sunlight. Omar checks the soil near the young plants. It feels dry, so he turns on the drip-irrigation line. Small holes in the hose release water slowly near the roots. This helps the plants without wasting as much water as spraying the whole paddock. Amira keeps a farm notebook. She records when each crop is planted and how much rain falls. This year, one paddock was planted with legumes before the wheat. Legumes can add useful nutrients to the soil, which may help the wheat crop grow. The family rotates crops between paddocks as part of its seasonal plan. The family hopes careful planning will bring a strong harvest, even if the weather stays warm.
