# After the hail, Mallee growers must harvest what’s left

> Hail struck Victoria’s Mallee on November 2, damaging wheat, barley, lentils, canola, lupins and other crops as they neared harvest. A grower near Birchip feared losing well over half the canola seed from 400 hectares, while flooding delayed another grower’s efforts to access damaged fields and salvage crops.

## Why it matters
