In bloom: canola is top of the crops on NSW south-west slopes - in pictures
Despite the wet weather, the canola fields in southern New South Wales are blooming.
Canola crops are coming into full bloom in southern New South Wales but the prolonged wet season could ruin farmers' chances to harvest their crops as some paddocks become waterlogged.
According to the Australian Bureau for Agricultural Resource Economics and Sciences (Abares), the gross value of Australian canola production is forecast to ease to its second-highest level on record at $5.2bn as prices and production fall in 2022-23.

Are indoor vertical farms really 'future-proofing agriculture'?
Heralded as the next step in food production, this practice is gaining ground in the US. But are they really a greener alternative to traditional farming?
A hyper-controlled indoor farm in industrial South San Francisco, four robots named John, Paul, George and Ringo carefully transfer seedlings from barcoded trays into 15-plus foot towers that are then hung vertically inside a 4,800 sq ft grow room.
Inside the hygienic space, which is operated by the indoor farming company Plenty, there's no soil, sunlight or tractors, but rows of hanging crops illuminated by colourful LED lights and carefully monitored by cameras, sensors and artificial intelligence. Once a tower is ready to be harvested, a balletic automated process reminiscent of a dry cleaner’s conveyor belt begins.
A robot named Garfunkel (a nearby counterpart is called Simon) gently grabs and turns the tower on its side before setting it down to be trimmed by a machine. Workers in navy branded jumpsuits inspect the greens for any defects, but there are almost none. Then the pesticide-free product is packaged and put on a truck to be delivered to a local market.

The rise of vertical farms: could indoor plant factories be the norm in 10 years?
The UK is leading the way in vertical farming, a more sustainable way to grow herbs, salads and soft fruits year-round.
Behind an airtight door, inside a warehouse 10 minutes walk from Bristol city centre, shelves of vibrant chives sprout enthusiastically towards a sky of multicoloured LEDs. The air they are transpiring smells earthy, despite the absence of soil, while a mechanical hum provides a soothing substitute for birdsong.
Welcome to the future of farming, where herbs, salads and soft fruits are grown year-round, in vast, indoor plant factories.
The British vertical farming startup the Jones Food Company, announced it was building the world’s largest vertical farm on the site of an old forge in Lydney, Gloucestershire.

The UK is leading the way in vertical farming, a more sustainable way to grow herbs, salads and soft fruits year-round.
Behind an airtight door, inside a warehouse 10 minutes walk from Bristol city centre, shelves of vibrant chives sprout enthusiastically towards a sky of multicoloured LEDs. The air they are transpiring smells earthy, despite the absence of soil, while a mechanical hum provides a soothing substitute for birdsong.
Welcome to the future of farming, where herbs, salads and soft fruits are grown year-round, in vast, indoor plant factories.
The British vertical farming startup the Jones Food Company, announced it was building the world’s largest vertical farm on the site of an old forge in Lydney, Gloucestershire.

How Sussex farmers plan to rewild a nature-rich green corridor to the sea.
Weald to Waves project aims to boost biodiversity by rewilding land as part of government 'landscape recovery' pilot scheme.
James Baird is the driving force behind project to link up nature-friendly farming and rewilded land from the Sussex coast to the Knepp estate.
When farmer James Baird read of Isabella Tree’s vision for rewilded land stretching from her Sussex estate all the way to the sea at Shoreham, he phoned up Tree and her husband, Charlie Burrell, and told them: "You're going to the wrong bit of coast - I've got the last bit."
Now Baird, a self-described "hard-nosed arable farmer" who owns virtually the last slice of undeveloped West Sussex coast at Climping Gap, the other side of Worthing to Shoreham, is the driving force behind the creation of a wildlife-rich green corridor linking the rewilded Knepp estate to the sea.
Baird, who has had a conversion to environmentally-friendly farming, on his farm near Littlehampton, Sussex.

'Fonio just grows naturally': could ancient indigenous crops ensure food security for Africa?
Calls are growing to invest more in the continent’s traditional grains as a way to break its reliance on imported wheat, rice and maize.
A village works methodically as a unit to grow fonio - a precious grain crucial to their diets that only takes days to germinate and can be harvested in as little as six weeks. Though laborious, growing fonio, one of Africa's oldest cultivated grains, is simple and reliable.
