Farmers in one of the driest parts of the wheatbelt are very disappointed in the rain associated with this week's cold front.

 

Romolo Patroni is the Shire President of Yilgarn, he also farms at Marvel Loch in the eastern wheatbelt. "Very disappointing with the way the cold front came through." "The predictions that were being made as far as rainfall was concerned we expected to get at least somewhere between 10 and 20 millimetres but I think generally the area only received between four and six millimetres."
