Central Queensland growers lose millions to drought as La Niña passes them by

Central Queensland growers are walking away from more than a million dollars worth of crops amid drought, while other parts of the state receive downpours brought on by La Niña.

According to the Bureau of Meteorology (BOM), central Queensland has fared the worst in Australia during the weather pattern.

Jambin grain grower Paul Heit said up to 40 per cent of his family’s mung bean crop would be lost due to the dry conditions and lack of development.
