Mouse poo contamination creates havoc for sorghum farmers and exporters
Poo may be a small by-product of mouse plagues in NSW and Queensland, but it is having an insidious effect on the states’ sorghum harvests and exports.
Key points:
- Rodent poo is ruining sorghum crops and exports
- There is zero tolerance for mouse droppings in exported grain
- China is buying big volumes of sorghum for feed grain
There is absolutely no tolerance for mouse poo in grain destined for export markets, so whole truckloads are being rejected if one tiny piece is discovered.
On John Cameron’s farm near Toowoomba in Southern Queensland, mouse poo contamination has made his crop virtually unsellable.
