# How big will Western Australia's wheat crop be? - Grain Price News

> The Grains Industry of Western Australia expects the state's 2022-23 total grains harvest to reach around 20 million tonnes, implying about 11 million tonnes of wheat. That would be above average but below last season's record. Dryness has left the crop in a precarious position pending rains.
