# Waterlogging unlikely to dampen record WA grain season, according to GIWA crop report - ABC News

> The Grains Industry Association of WA projects a record state grain crop of close to 20 million tonnes, up from 16.6 million last year. Waterlogging in southern parts of the belt is expected to be offset by good conditions in the north and centre, though frost and heat remain risks.

## Why it matters

A record WA crop would add exportable wheat and barley supply from Australia, a mild bearish factor. Frost or heat during spring could cut that outlook.
