# Australian winter crop set for 55m tonne boost says ABARES | Farm Online | ACT

> ABARES modelling projects Australia's winter crop at 55 million tonnes, a 17% year-on-year increase, with wheat at 31.8 Mt and barley at 12.2 Mt. Improved conditions in northern cropping regions and Western Australia drive the upgrade, while Victoria and South Australia face moisture deficits.
