# Feedgrain Focus: Flat to lower on rain forecast for sorghum areas - Grain Central

> Sorghum-area rain forecasts in northern New South Wales and southern Queensland have trimmed values in the north, while southern yield prospects for winter cereals are falling. South Australia cut its production estimate by 22 percent due to dry conditions, and some southern NSW crops are being cut for hay.
