Mother Nature has once again bared her teeth with yet another major natural disaster affecting horticultural growing regions in Queensland’s north.  While the full extent of damage will not be quantified for some time, we’ve had reports of significant crop and property damage in areas such as Rollingstone, Home Hill, Giru, Inkerman and Bowen. Our members are also reporting issues with soil erosion, loss of top soil and planting may be delayed in some areas.
