# Weekly update - 5 May 2022 - DAFF

> Australia's Department of Agriculture weekly update for the week ending 4 May 2022 reported moderate rain in the east and dry conditions elsewhere, with winter planting well underway in southern regions. Waterlogging and high soil moisture delayed some planting in New South Wales and Victoria, while central South Australia had not yet had its autumn break.
