SA grain crop to be above average SOUTH Australia's grain crop is expected to reach 7.6 million tonnes in 2013, about one million tonnes better than last year. Primary Industries SA said if winter and spring rains were good, most districts would return an above-average crop. Milder temperatures and rain in May and June had also created ideal seeding conditions. "Most crops are further advanced than normal for this time of the year, with soil moisture levels now good to excellent across the state," Primary Industries manager Dave Lewis said in a statement on Monday. Most districts as a result have average to above average yield potential. Mr Lewis said disease levels in crops were generally very low across the state.
