# Wet conditions have delayed spring planting

> Wet weather delayed spring planting for coastal farmers in Clarence Valley and disrupted the area’s sugarcane harvesting, supply and milling operations. Less than 10% of the cane crop remained to be harvested and crushed, and the season was expected to finish in early to mid-November.

## Why it matters

Stop-start harvesting and crushing can disrupt the timing and consistency of local sugar supply, but the report gives no estimate of a production loss or a feed-commodity price effect. Sugar is not among the supported commodity symbols.
