Poor, dry seasons can cause crops (cereals, lupins and canola) to be patchy and short.
This page summarises the main factors to consider when planning or managing a canola crop.
Frost is difficult to manage. It has a significant economic and emotional impact on the whole community.
Serious grain losses at harvest reduce the profitability of crops. Grain can be lost at a number of places during harvest.

Lupins should be harvested as soon as they are mature to minimise significant yield loss.
40% lower germination was measured from seed of plants exposed to wetting and drying at maturity.
In 2018, over 10million tonnes (estimated) of wheat was harvested in Western Australia.
Yield of chickpea crop-topped at the right time to control weed seed set was 59% of the unsprayed control.
Pre-harvest sprouting (PHS) is a common quality constraint of wheat that can result in downgrading of grain quality upon receival.
