# PIRSA cuts SA production estimate to 7.59Mt - Grain Central

> PIRSA cut its South Australian winter crop estimate to 7.59 million tonnes from 8.18 million, with new-crop wheat at 4.11 million tonnes and barley at 1.86 million tonnes. The estimate is based on conditions as of July 10 and does not include rain received later in July, and low soil moisture and late sowing are noted as risks.
