Flooding across inland New South Wales is delaying harvest, but farmers and landholders have a new concern as dry and windy days dry out the countryside.

abc.net.au/news/nsw-rfs-warns-of-grassfires-during-summer-after-flooding/101814414Authorities warn inland New South Wales may be facing the most "significant grassfire season" in more than a decade due to high fuel loads in the wake of heavy rainfall.

NSW Rural Fire Service Orana district manager Inspector Dave Millsteed said the countryside had dried out significantly after the flooding with dry, windy days. "We have the potential at the moment for probably the most significant grassfire season than we've had over 10 years."He said the state's entire central-west was at significant risk of fire because of grass growth.
