flag Australia's 2025-26 winter crop yield reached 66.3 million tonnes—second-highest on record—despite a dry season, due to improved farming practices and crop efficiency.

flag Despite a dry 2025-26 growing season, Australia’s winter crop yields hit 66.3 million tonnes—the second-highest on record—according to ABARES. flag Severe rainfall deficits in key regions were offset by advances in farming practices, improved crop genetics, and enhanced water use efficiency. flag Farmers achieved high yields with minimal rain, including wheat water use efficiency of 28.1 kg per millimetre and sorghum yields of 5 tonnes per hectare on just 40mm of in-crop rainfall. flag Sustained investment in research and development has enabled greater resilience, allowing production to rise even as growing-season rainfall declined by at least 20% in major wheat areas.
